"A beautiful, clean motel located in the waterfront area. Amazing view, nice boardwalk, and plenty of parking. No complimentary breakfast, but that was our only disappointment. Everything else was perfect.2021-08-09"
"The motel room was spotless, and we appreciated the environmentally-friendly policies. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We left behind our pillows, and the manager even offered to bring them to Windsor on an upcoming visit. Breakfast was more than adequate. We'll be back.2016-10-03"

"We were traveling with our small dog, and the room didn't have any pet odor. Everything was clean, and the hotel staff was awesome and accommodating.2017-08-16"
"The room was on the small side. The AC didn't work well, and the room felt humid our entire stay. The hallway and eating area were too hot. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.2017-07-10"
"A fairly good value. The motel room and bathroom were clean but dated. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked well, and there was lots of hot water for showers. The staff was friendly and helpful. The sidewalks and parking area needed to be swept. Ask for a quieter courtyard room, since rooms near the pool area were noisy. Get coffee from the lobby; the coffee in the room was weak.2018-06-26"
"Good motel with pleasant, helpful employees. Consider staying here.2018-05-27"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
