Since the new owners have taken over the Clippership, the business itself has gone downhill all rooms need repairs. The deck was falling off the side of our limit unit dangerous especially those with handicapped or children. The first room they brought us to smelt terrible the second room was clean, but we had no towels in a dirty bathing suit behind the door. I brought the bathing suit up to the office which the owners are running and dropped it on the front door and it was still there two days later very very saddened by this because it was such a lovely lovely motel. Yes, best of all in the shower water shuts off, no water unable to rinse our bodies with water for 15 to 20 minutes.
