Seedy Town

The price was reasonable, the motel is pretty aged, no air-conditioning. The room next to us had a prostitute staying with 2 or more men coming and going. Just a seedy area.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very nice and helpful.
Claudia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay for a night before catching the ferry

Staff were friendly and let me greet their dog. Our room -2 bedroom- was clean and comfortable. Be aware that there is an additional $38 fee for taxes and services that is added when you arrive. Hotels.com says all fees included but they’re not. Also, if you plan on cooking, the efficiency kitchen doesn’t have any pots or pans.

Older and basic hotel. Has some wear but it is clean and comfortable. We just needed a place to sleep after a late flight. Owner is great - efficient and accommodating.
Valerie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Outside is super cute and the staff was really nice, but the inside of the property is very run down and there was black mold all over the ceiling. Especially in the bathroom. Bathroom mat was covered in mold. Only stayed for 1 night to catch an early ferry
Taylor, 1-night trip

If you get what you pay for, this inexpensive motel is overpriced.
