There were no end tables by the bed. I pulled a chair over. I had the only room with out close parking. It wasn't too far , but behind building where I enter in the front.. People were always taking my closest spot and I had to park down the street.

We LOVED this place to stay. Yes, the rooms are small and could use a little update, but, the ease of check-in, close proximity to everything, and the POOL! THE POOL! It is beautiful, perfect, comfortable chairs... just perfect. I hope to stay at this motel again next summer. Absolutely loved it.

Cute little place, very clean room. Staff were very helpful when we left something behind.

10/10

What I noticed was this place is 2 1/2 stars. If you can get by with no continental breakfast and rooms that could be updated This place sits in the center of town "Port Austin" with a great piece of property, set up like a courtyard with an big outdoor pool, firepit, a quick walk to all the stores and the pier. Best place to stay in Port Austin.
