Scott, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was ok but carpet was very dirty. Did not see much of an ocean view and the location was in a questionable area of the town. Lots of homeless people around and we did not feel very safe.

No where near by to get breakfast, have to drive two blocks down from the hotel recommend by staff.

Nicole, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great friendly service . The family suite is nice & spacious, just the only down fall was the hot water running out half way through 1 shower (there were 5 of us) & the weak water pressure but otherwise great place to stay , beds are comfortable & the free parking was a bonus.

Older motel that is being updated. Not the nicest location but close to the ferry terminal and was very clean. Cleaner than most 3 stars Ive stayed at. I would definitely come back.

I’ll be staying there again.
Douglas, 13-night trip

8/10 Very good

2 bedroom room was clean. Check in a breeze. Beds were average. Wifi was spotty. Road was noisy but couldn’t really hear from the room. Could really hear the people stomping upstairs. Overall for the price I would stay again. Pet friendly a big plus. MGM restaurant just down across the street was excellent
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy to locate, just by road side. The staff at the front desk not welcoming at all!
