Not Awesome.
Pros: Location is great; it’s right on Alister Street which runs right thru the main part of Port A. The price was OK. Being pet friendly was the best part. Cons: Dead bugs on the walls. Not given blankets; literally a tablecloth as the “comforter.” The TV kept breaking. The window was broken and you could slide it right out of the wall, meaning even with the window locked, you could still get in the room. No noise blocking, you could hear someone swallow in the next room. The towels and sheets were sour, like they were left in the washing machine for two days before drying. The pillows were so thin, that if you stacked all 6 together, you’d have half of a regular pillow. It was just highly uncomfortable and a place I’ll never stay at again or ever recommend to anyone else.

We have stayed here many times over the years and works great for us. Clean, friendly, centrally located and dog-friendly, all we need. We appreciate the full kitchen rooms. Great stay at an even better price in the off-season.

We experienced power outages from 10pm to the morning even when we checked out at 8am. Room didn’t have a chair for the desk or drawers. I have to sit on the bed to do my work. The floor was dirty with a lot of sand from the shoes. Not recommend it

Overnight stay-perfect spot
This is the second time we have chosen to stay at this motel, and our experience has been positive once again. The gentleman at the front desk is exceptionally approachable and friendly, making the check-in process smooth and pleasant. I appreciated that when I inquired about the possibility of checking in a bit earlier than the standard time, he was accommodating and granted my request without any hesitation. While I wouldn’t describe this motel as perfect—it certainly has its quirks—it is a great option for those looking for a budget-friendly place to stay. The rooms are consistently clean and well-maintained, which is a huge plus. Overall, given its affordability and the level of service we received, I definitely recommend it for anyone seeking a reliable and economical lodging option.

It was a good stay. Staff took care of anything I needed. It was very close to the beach and it was clean. The price was very affordable. Not the top notch hotel but a very nice, clean, quiet Hotel. Id definitely stay there again.
