Well kept. Cute. Perfect location. Office staff very kind. Highly recommend!! Being able to buy ferry tickets and get picked up/dropped off at motel a plus. Also being able to walk to historical museums another plus for staying here. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets right outside your door! AC unit in our room was not staying cool, but does not change my mind about this motel. I will be back
