"The hotel was fine, and the room was clean. Easy check-in. Breakfast was decent.2021-07-23"
"The hotel was clean, and the employees were friendly. No complaints. Great place to stay.2021-07-23"
"The hotel wasn't clean.2021-02-13"
"The room smelled dank and over-sprayed with air freshener. The front desk clerk was abrupt when I asked about staying an additional night and when I reported that the drink vending machine was out of order. Stay somewhere else.2016-10-23"
"We stay at this hotel fairly regularly, but this time we got a handicap room that was in poor condition. It was dated and we didn't like it. Still a good place to stay.2016-07-30"
"The hotel staff was attentive, helpful, and friendly. I loved the recycling bins on every floor. Great complimentary breakfast with lots of healthy options.2018-08-19"
"The hotel was nice and clean, but there was no network TV and no exhaust fan in the bathroom. The pool wasn't available because of Covid. If you plan to be out much of the time, this might work for you.2022-08-10"
"Close to the ferry, the ocean, and downtown shops. The hotel room was clean. Decent breakfast selection.2018-04-15"
"Good room, and the hotel staff was helpful. You can't go wrong staying here.2017-01-24"
"Great hotel, staff, and location.2015-11-05"
"Good location. Great hotel, especially the room. The only disappointment was that the outdoor pool wasn't heated, and the whirlpool was out of service.2015-06-04"
"The AC leaked water on the balcony, which was littered with cigarette butts. The bathtub in our room wasn't clean, and a flooding issue forced some guests to be relocated; our floor smelled like raw sewage. Only an apology was offered. The bathrooms in the lobby also smelled like sewage. This hotel was not worth the price.2016-08-15"
"An excellent motel. Every employee was so nice and helpful.2020-04-30"
"The motel room felt damp and smelled like mildew. There was no wastebasket in the bedroom. The tea bag was damp, so I didn't use it. The shower curtain rod drooped, resulting in an inability to keep the shower curtain at the ends of the rod. The exhaust fan didn't work. Good variety at breakfast, and the sausages were tasty. Keep looking.2019-08-30"
"The motel clerk was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my sister got an appropriate room since she had a broken leg. She even helped me move our luggage. Be aware that there's no elevator.2018-07-25"
"We had a dog-friendly room on the 1st floor, but the window wouldn't lock. The motel clerk was helpful and tried to fix it but couldn't. She cleaned the room next door, and we were able to stay there after waiting about 45 minutes. The beds were comfortable. I couldn't get cell phone calls in the building. No complimentary breakfast.2018-06-15"
"My room smelled musty, and there was a poorly repaired hole in the wall behind the door. Several areas needed touch-up paint. One lamp in the corner rocked on its base when turned on. The carpeting at the back entrance of the motel was stained. The front desk clerk and breakfast attendant were pleasant, and the breakfast was adequate. I'd suggest finding another place to stay.2016-01-20"
"Cheap hotel, but not a vacation destination. The bedsheets weren't changed. There was no ice available my entire stay. I don't recommend staying here.2016-06-29"
"Close to the beach and attractions, and there were some nice, casual restaurants on the same access road. The rates were reasonable. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and the room was large enough for two people. There was an outdoor pool and small dining area off the lobby where the continental breakfast was served.2016-06-07"
"An OK hotel. We enjoyed the location, and the rates were good.2016-05-10"
"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay again. You won't be disappointed here.2016-05-05"
"Don't expect luxury at this hotel. Expect a quiet, simple, clean, friendly, low-key atmosphere. The continental breakfast was small, but coffee was available 24 hours a day. We had an extremely pleasant 4-night stay in this budget hotel. There were two separate entrances to the parking lot on the ground floor.2015-06-10"
"Clean hotel with friendly personnel. There were a few problems with the room, though, and the Internet connection was bad.2018-07-23"
"The hotel was pleasant and convenient to many amenities. I was comfortable and had no issues whatsoever.2016-06-18"
"Great location. The room was fine, and the hotel staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. Excellent breakfast. A wonderful place to stay.2015-09-25"

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.
