Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was beyond old & tired & felt dingy. Dishes in the cupboard were chipped & mismatched. Chairs were haphazard- one barstool & one kitchen chair. The smell was horrible!! We kept the windows open all night. The bed was comfortable enough but the pillows weren't great. Bathroom has been updated. Front staff was fantastic! We got in late from the ferry & they happy to help us after closing hours.

For an older motel style Inn the conditions were awesome. The beds were comfy. The rooms clean. The kitchenette had what we needed and the TV had channels. We were in town for a sporting event and it was what we needed for the weekend.

Okay for a night before catching the ferry

Staff were friendly and let me greet their dog. Our room -2 bedroom- was clean and comfortable. Be aware that there is an additional $38 fee for taxes and services that is added when you arrive. Hotels.com says all fees included but they’re not. Also, if you plan on cooking, the efficiency kitchen doesn’t have any pots or pans.
