We loved our stay at the Fern River Resort and would highly recommend it to everyone. We rented Cabin 11A, and it was exactly what was described. I think this would be a great place for a family of 4 or more as I think the kids would love the little loft. The place was clean, all of the kitchen items you would need were there. The bed was super comfy. We only stayed one night, wish we could have stayed longer.

Seemed to have plenty of parking, not too far a walk from things. Lady at the desk upgraded my room for me which was a pleasant surprise. Nothing to complain about.
Two small notes, only place I’ve seen that has ever charged for ice, but I think it was like $0.25 or something. Also I didn’t notice any noise at all but the hotel room came with ear plugs, last time I saw that was Boston lol

Great little motorcourt motel! The gentleman at the front desk was so friendly and helpful (gave us good directions to walk to the beach and suggested restaurants nearby to eat at). The motel is a 45 min walk to the beach/marina but the neighborhood is very safe day and night and it's quiet too.
I love the little gardens infront of each room and spent part of the evening sitting there on the patio chairs. The room has a bedroom area and a separate kitchen too with nice appliances and a nice new...

This Motel 6 is a step up from what you usually get at a Motel 6. The rooms were nicely appointed and basic. My only issue was with the lighting in the rooms. The lights were fitted with very bright cold white bulbs which were too bright. This is a problem at other locations and is admittedly a pet peeve.

At first I was a little worried as the hallways were open air and parking was underground. Happy to see cameras and security enabled card entry only. Rooms and closet were spacious with the convenience of a kitchen. The furniture was a little worn but not dingy. Everything was as advertised, clean, and staff were super friendly. Location was excellent and convenient too. Breakfast was a grab and go, so it was nice to microwave and eat in my own room while I checked emails in the morning....
