Great room! Check in was excellent, each door has a keypad instead of a key. You receive a text message on the day you check in and get your code, nothing else needed! Staff friendly and helpful. Pool was not available for use, not sure why.

The motel room was comfortable and enough space for two people. The shuttle picked us up with no issues getting to and from the ferry dock. Easy check in/out. I was disappointed that the pool wasn’t open for the season, especially after spending a warm day on the island. A small bar of hand soap would have been helpful and the room had no smoke detector. Could see where it used to be in the ceiling. I suggest the diner up the street on the left. Breakfast was really good. Overall our stay was good.

This is what I would call a typical roadside motel from the 60s. The rooms are in an L shape with doors that open onto the parking lot. There is a pool but it was not open while we were there. The rooms are paneled in a dark wood and the overall feel is dark. The bed was very comfortable with nice bedding. Our room felt a little damp but it had been raining for a couple days. The bathroom was tiny but had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. They have an electronic key lock and they text you with the code. The TV was good.

I took a couple of days to write a review, cause I wasn’t sure what to say, but here goes. This is what a motel should be, small wood paneled rooms, fridge, microwave, table, desk and chairs. Would I stay here again ? Nope! Bed was horrible, heat was on and we had to run the air conditioner to compensate. My biggest problem was for the cost it is not worth it. There are plenty of nice hotel here, with breakfast and nicer rooms for if not same price, very close.
