    friendly staff
    dirty bathroom
    uncomfortable pillows

    Friendly staff at the reception.

    The cleanliness of the room was appalling. I found hair in the shower and the toilet was far from presentable. Additionally, the pillows were old and flat, making for an uncomfortable night’s rest.

    spacious rooms
    functional ac

    Families will find it manageable enough

    Rooms were spacious enough to hold our suitcases and fishing equipment. The AC worked well,

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but it was acceptable for a quick stay.

    I had a decent stay with spacious rooms and good AC. The decor is quite dated, but the strong wifi was a nice bonus. I would consider coming back if needed.

    clean room
    friendly staff
    dated decor
    noise disturbance

    This motel had a decent vibe for our family fishing trip. The rooms were spacious and clean, although the decor felt dated and a bit worn. Be prepared for some noise from nearby venues, but the friendly staff and convenient restaurant options made it a comfortable stop.

    freshly baked croissants
    convenient location
    rude front desk
    unkempt rooms
    non-functional smoke detector

    The location was convenient for access to local events, but the stay was marred by a rude front desk experience and unkempt rooms with hard beds and unpleasant odors. Upon checking in, I noticed stains on the blankets, which added to the disappointment. While freshly baked croissants were a nice morning treat, the overall service left much to be desired, particularly during an issue with a non-functional smoke detector. Avoiding this place would be wise given the lack of professionalism and care.

    stiff beds
    poor pillow support
    dated decor

    I had a decent stay with spacious rooms that were clean enough for comfort. While the decor felt a bit dated, the location was convenient with restaurants nearby. However, the beds were stiff, and the pillows lacked support, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

    strong wifi
    handy location
    easy check-in
    dated decor

    Decent spot for a night or two

    Had a chill stay for 3 nights. The location was super handy, right near some food spots and a gas station. Check-in was easy, and the room was decent. AC worked well, and wifi was strong. The decor could’ve used some love – like, so 90s – but the beds were okay. Just a heads up, the chairs were kinda sad looking and the sirens from the fire station were loud sometimes.

    fresh seafood
    classic cars
    broken remote
    rude owner

    Absolutely loved hitting up The Crab Bucket just around the corner! Fresh seafood that’s totally worth diving into. Plus, strolling Main Street to see classic cars was a delightful surprise.

    In addition to a broken TV remote, parking was a hassle with a large truck hogging space. I felt like I was on a reality show with the owner being rude about our parking situation. The beds? Loud and creaky like a haunted house!

    unclean bathroom

    However, I found the cleanliness lacking during my stay. the shower had hair, and the toilet had crusty sides that were unappealing. Not to mention, the comforter had mysterious white spots inside it, which added to the overall unpleasant scent in the room. The pillows felt super thin—folding them didn’t help much. Late-night, I had to use a personal blanket just to catch a few hours of sleep.

    convenient location
    dirty bathrooms
    uncomfortable bedding

    The air-conditioned rooms were perfect for my comfort, and I loved the easy access to beautiful area attractions. The staff was friendly when I chatted with them, and the location near restaurants was so convenient.

    Improved cleanliness and maintenance management.

    fresh seafood
    easy check-in

    Basic Stay with Room for Improvement

    Check-in was straightforward, but interactions with staff felt a bit harsh, especially regarding ID requirements. On a brighter note, enjoying fresh seafood at The Crab Bucket nearby made up for it! For more comfort, consider packing your own amenities.
