Great little motel - 2 min walk to the harbor. -Walking distance to restaurants and vintage shops. -Great hospitality from staff. -My room had a nice partial view of the rock and water. Suggestions for a better unobstructed view 1) trim the city trees for a better view. 2) remove the window slats. Thanks!

Ok place to stay for a quick overnight trip.Hotel is old and a bit tired the furniture worn but the bed was comfortable. A bit grossed out by hair left in the bathroom. Relatively inexpensive and good location but too many other hotels to stay here again.

I paid for a better room with a balcony facing the bay, which is 3 blocks away. The problem is there’s a 24 hr self car wash across the street which was very loud and used at all hours, which broke the peaceful vibe.
