Harbour Light Motel

Harbour Light Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Once we got inside our room, the room was fine. With our late arrival (about 11 PM) we had to plead for the agent to respect our booking on hotels.com He left a key for us in a front door lock box of the inn. But there was a moment of doubt when he answered the phone at 10 PM and said “we have now closed”. Note: They need to leave coffee stirring sticks or plastic spoons to stir the fine coffee they offer in the rooms. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean."
