Good motel at a convenient location

Nice location, nice two large king size beds. It’s at a very convenient location, only one block away from wharf. The guest WiFi is terrible. It keeps dropping.

The room was not only clean but smelled good. Great location in walking distance from the warf. It was also really nice to see them even cleaning the sidewalk in front of the rooms with cleaner. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because one of thr hot tubs was not in service and that was one of the specific reasons i booked at this place. The other hottub was occupied each time I tried to use the facilities. I would definitely stay here again!

I would have given 5 stars if we didn’t have to run the shower for 15min to get hot water. Hopefully they fix that it seems like a huge waste of water.

The motel is a convenient walk to the beach and downtown, with clean, comfortable rooms. Many food options are nearby. Wifi was unreliable and very slow, the tv had no streaming support and many channels were disabled, and the room air conditioner was too noisy to leave on while sleeping. Noise from the adjacent road was noticeable during the day but was not a problem at night.

Great location. The room I had was in the back corner, which was great because it was quiet. The bathroom was really small, but the shower was amazing. For the price, you can't beat it. It was my 2nd time staying and I'll definitely be back again! Nice proximity to the wharf and boardwalk!
