Nice motel and good rate.

Older but well kept motel style lodging. Room was clean, front desk person nice and grounds well maintained. Stayed 3 nights over 4 days while in town so had 2 rooms. Only reasons not excellent rating is the older style air conditioning and lack of decent coffee. Please an upgrade to Kuriegs. Americans are spoiled. The green space is very nice to hang out BTW!

Great quiet place to stay

First time in area so we didn’t know what to expect. Facility was in a shaded park like setting with a fire pit and easy access to a private beach. The room was clean and comfortable.

Nostalgia

An older road side hotel that has been updated. Super friendly owners. Lovely small rooms from a bygone era. Perfect for a quiet night on a bicycle trip while a cold front pushed through.
