Best part is location. On the river with the river bar. Walking distance to jet express and beach. VERY expensive for outdated rooms and bathrooms. We paid for location and the Bait House river bar

Cracking location right on the water front! Right on it, you opened curtains to see boats 4 feet from you! Really great spot. Only thing to note was we had a room that had a musty smell, but you got used to it after 5mins.

Nothing fancy. Old motel built in the '50's and added on and renovated. Rooms are clean and the staff is very nice. They say breakfast is included, but it is only coffee and some packaged pastries. No big deal because all I wanted was coffee. It backs right up to the river where boats dock and the Bait House Bar, which has a big outdoor patio and sometimes live music. Nice stay for a reasonable price. Walking distance to anything downtown.

The property was very close to jet express which meant I didn’t have to move my car when I went over to put in bay. The room was clean, but definitely dated. If you’re looking for a slick white hotel room, this is not the place for you.
