Wonderful stay! The motel was very clean and updated. We stayed in the biggest room. 2 queen size beds, pull out sleeper sofa, and full kitchen. The complimentary breakfast available in the check in area was very good. Continental with hard boiled eggs, pastries, bagels, burritos, breakfast sandwiches, cereals, yogurt, and fruit. Thank you!!!

I love how quaint the location, however 3 things, conditioner didnt smell great, and the water out of the faucet smelled bad and parking is very tight. But other than that, mattress was amazing and the room was nice and spacious.

They have this 4-wheel surrey for our family to use for free. So we spent the morning roaming around the beach side and the wharf. Very unique experience.
