Seems like they remodeled the place. Rooms looked fairly new. Quiet place. Bail bond place across the street along with a gas station. For the price i think it was pretty decent.

The staff seemed very helpfully and were extremely nice and inviting. The downside to a family that is non smoking was there was constant smoke smell. Luckily our one bedroom had no smoke smell, but the kitchen/living area my kids stayed in was pretty yucky. The upkeep of the place is wonderful, just smoky

Kitchenette available including stove, fridge, microwave, sink, and all utensils you would need. They dont like late check-ins. Somethings were in need of repair, like door knobs. Cheaper priced for the area.

Clean sheets and appliances, unfortunately the smell of Pine Sol in the room was toxic. I had to open the windows to get fresh air. AC in the room too loud, and temp control was broken. The motel is minutes from the ferry terminal, the only reason we chose to book a room there.

Air conditioner was loud and it did not make cold air. The fan in the bathroom was also so loud. The kitchen was good have. If they fix the AC then it would be much higher rated. Its important to have AC when its 30 degrees outside.
