Great rest!
Wonderful Bayview, Newly renovated, with nice to have amenities included. There is even a couple Adirondack chairs to sit in outside the room to view the bay! Would definitely recommend this motel and I would stay here again.

Good overnight stop
Unplanned late arrival and the non-attended check in made us nervous, but it worked fine. Good value for a 1 night stay.

Perfect Little Getaway
This was the perfect place for me to have my solo trip to work on my book. The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable. The staff addressed any questions quickly and efficiently. It is in a great location - close to restaurants and the walking path.
The bathroom was super clean and the shower pressure was great.

Clean basic hotel with no frills
The facility was easy to check-in to even without anyone working at registration. It was clean, and had the basics we needed for our trip, but no frills, The AC in our room was insufficient for the size of the room. The mattresses were extremely cheap. If one person moved in bed, anyone next to them got jostled.
