10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant stay, quiet place to relax
Speedy and hustle-free check-in process. The room is excellent, spacious, clean and everything is fresh and like new. Very modern and renovated bathroom and great modern lights in the room. We enjoyed our stay. It was really quiet and we could rest really well. The Bay is like across the street... 3 min.

Pleasant overnight stay.
Very pleasant overnight stay. Owners have done renovations and used the space efficiently. Choice of colors for walls and flooring helps to brighten the sleep and utility areas. Clean comfortable and quiet. Check in smooth and pleasant. Look forward to a September visit.

6/10 Good

Not all that
Average 1960s motel in need of updates. If you like hot showers, forget it. VERY slow to get hot water. One night never did get hot...everyone in the facility must have been showering at the same time. Back killer mattress on bed.
