This is a nice little motel. It is reasonable, clean and the staff are great, especially, Mike, who cooks great bacon and eggs! The pool is clean and the place is quiet. We stayed for three nights while we toured the area, and would highly recommend a stay at the Mermaid Inn.

We really liked the waiter Tony in the dining room. He went above what one would expect to make your dining experience pleasant. We liked the heat pumps in the cottage.
