Extremely friendly staff. Room is "ok" but could have been nicer for $123.00 a night! Plaster peeling from wall in the bathroom and the bathroom had no ceiling fan that worked so things steamed up rather quickly. The bathroom towels were extremely small for the average sized person! Breakfast was a nice spread of pastries, begals, cereal and microwavable breakfast sandwiches. I need to edit this review because I wrote this after our first night staying there. The second morning we had a knock on the door. We answered it to find the motel clerk carrying a 5lb fruit tray with two paper plates and forks. He said " I noticed you didn't care much for the pastries that I serve for breakfast so I got you this fruit tray". I thought that was extremely kind that he noticed that and decided to go out of his way to do that for us! My daughter and I both have sensitivities to gluten so nothing that was served for breakfast except the fruit we could eat. I decided to add a star to give the motel 4 stars because of the hospitality that we received.

No outstanding problems, especially for the price. Rooms seems to have just been renovated. Beds are "springy", otherwise no complaints. Haven't got the chance to try the breakfast during my stay though. Another good thing is that they gave us a good place to park both of our boats with a good view of them from our room. In short, a good place for when you need a cheap but comfy and clean motel.
