Pool was nice, liked the hot tub/ pool combo and some shade was good if you want to get out of te sun for a bit. The room could be cleaner, new flooring i think.

Easy to find good parking although pulling out of the parking lot due to the proximity of their sign to the road can be difficult. The room was very clean and comfortable. We didn't use the pool but that looked very clean and other guests were enjoying it

This property shows what can be done with an old road side motel and excellent taste. Property was beautifully redone. A friendly atmosphere with gracious host. The rooms are small, but spotless. Breakfast was not much, but the coffee was good. A simple layover while waiting for the ferry. I will be back.

Ants in the bathroom
Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025

6/10

They are under new management. Not as friendly as the original owners. The light switch didn't work in one area of the room. The light switch was hard to find in the dark bathroom. The fan didn't work in the bathroom making it very steamy after a shower. The continental breakfast was so minimal. Tubs are stained & old. The grounds were nice. Spacious rooms. Things need to be fixed & updated.
