Best part is location. On the river with the river bar. Walking distance to jet express and beach. VERY expensive for outdated rooms and bathrooms. We paid for location and the Bait House river bar

The staff at the office was helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was a selection of prepackaged pastries and a pot of coffee brewed in the motel office. The room appeared clean, but did have an odor of ... I don't know... age? I'm tall, and there were dead gnats on the shower surround edge at my eye level. The bathroom was very tight so I had to sit offset on the toilet. Our room only had a ¾ bath, no tub, which I don't mind. The only window in the "on the side" rooms look out to the parking lot, which is of a good size. The motel is right on the water, on the harbor, and has a patio. And centrally located, a short walk to many attractions and restaurants. Overall a good stay

We booked through a 3rd party and check in was not smooth, staff member needed to call her manager, it was about 30 ish minutes before it was all sorted out. They had to re enter me in the system. Rooms are very dated and musty. View was great. Our door key did not work and after several attemps was reassigned another room. No breakfast. Parking lot was okay. Room was not the cleanest, wrappers under chair from previous travellers. Window sills were full.of dead bugs. Tv station very minimal and didnt work after midnight.

Old motel. Needs updating. Room was clean but the bed was terrible. Close to many good ammenities. But it is not worth the price. Room was so small you couldn't sit at the table and work. The staff was nice. good location. No soap, shampoo or coffee in the room. Out dated and the wifi was not good.

The room was clean but it was room basic, there was a bucket for ice in the room but there were no cups in the bedroom or the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. I was told breakfast was donuts and coffee and since I saw a donut shop around the corner I was looking forward to a homemade donut. I was quite surprised to find the offerings consisted of store bought packaged donuts and pastries - mine had an expiration date of 4/6/26 and today's date is 4/22/26
