Not sure how this property can charge the amount they do - perhaps taking advantage of the season. This is a necessity stop hotel, not a vacation hotel. This is a brush your teeth go to bed get up go back to work stop. Very disappointed. Staff very nice but not what we were looking forward to.

The motel is a bit old and some things are outdated, but my room was very clean and the guy working at the front desk was polite and helpful. Overall I can't complain for $66 per night.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not clean, mildew and scum in bathtub. Hair around sink.Mirrors never cleaned covered in spots . Friends room had many things wrong upon arrival. Location is nice and if you want to have a spot where nobody bothers you. Changed towels daily which was nice but came into room when you were gone. Definitely need some new house keepers.

A delightful bit of nostalgia

I had a 2 bedroom cottage and it was delightful. The staff was friendly and helped. A basic accommodation that may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed my stay.
