Nice clean motel close to the water

Nice, clean motel close to the marina. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was ok. One of the stove burners did not work and the kitchen sink made gurgling noises all day. The portable AC unit kept the front room cool, but not the bedroom.

Very comfortable rooms with nice beds. Extremely clean and had everything you’d need. The only thing that was a bit odd was the parking. Slightly tight spots and had to back onto the road to get out but I would absolutely stay here again.

In my past experience, motels are all the same, and usually a bit run down, but this motel was different. We were pleasantly surprised; the interior was updated, soft towels, comfortable higher quality pillows, and very cozy comforters. There was nice undercover seating where we visited with guests, and we felt very safe. I would highly recommend this lovely motel.
