Staff was ok, breakfast was pathetic nothing more than cereal, toast, coffee, and tiny muffins. Facilities were terribly run down. We noticed as we walked around the facility that some of the rooms were just filled with junk and old furniture and not in use.

So let’s be clear on what you’re getting. The price, location and staff are AMAZING! So welcoming and friendly. The motel is older, dated but clean. I would have loved to see this place back in the day as it appears to have been quite the place. Breakfast is muffins and cereal- again sufficient but we opted to go to a pancake house. I would stay again when taking a cruise and just need a place for the night.
