Always a great stay. The best location right by the water. Tiny rooms but I love this place. Walls are thin. This visit the room next door has the music going. This place is usually super quiet. Your results may very. Free cinnamon rolls in the morning at the best breakfast spot next door. All in all, this place can't be beat for the price and views.

The location was great and so was the price. However, the room was very small, the ceiling fan did not work, the bathroom sink would not drain right, the shower door would not latch without slamming, the coffee maker did not work. In addition, one of the lights over the bed blinked. When we reported these problems, we were told that had we reported the the previous evening, they would have given us another room. Since we only found out about most of these early the next morning, we could not since the office was closed until 9 AM.

UNSANITARY - THIS PLACE IS A HEALTH HAZARD-
I opened the door of the Hotel room the Stench hit me like a freight train. The Window was wide open, clearly, they were trying to mask the smell of the Moldy, Tainted room. As I looked up, the Ceiling fan was on high. I could see a Ring of filth & literal dirt caked on the ceiling around the fan(see pics). There were cobwebs hanging down from the walls like they were stuck in time. As I walked, I could feel crusty dried up dirt crunch under my shoes. I looked down to see caked dirt on the floor. And there were these red spots on the floor, pillow & curtains. I immediately knew these were blood spots. I have watched my fair share of Murder Mysteries & know what blood spots look like - Was there a murder in this room? I glanced at the outdated, ugly bedspread I was horrified to see stains of only god know what on it. This hotel was something out of a horror movie from the 80's. As I walked into the bathroom trying not to touch anything for fear I might contract the Plague or something worse. The bathroom was even more foul and nasty then the bedroom. There was BLACK MOLD all over the shower it had been there living in plain sight. There were long black hairs on the walls(not mine im blonde). Not to mention the TV was broken as were the lights on the bedside. We immediately ran back to the office that was open till 6:00pm. It was 5:45 CLOSED - there was a sign to call the after hours phone. We did 30+ times no answer. DO NOT STAY HERE-SEE PIC'S! *update refund refused by owner>

Buyer be ware - was NOT a well-maintained hotel
No hot water in bathroom sink; heater did not work; window screen popped out & not able to pop back in. Would not stay again, definitely was not worth the price we paid. My son’s ceiling fan did not work in his room.

Good value for the price
Easy, quick check-in. Friendly service. Offered card for 2 free cinnamon rolls from the restaurant next door for breakfast, which we got and were tasty. Room was clean, bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Pillows were nice. We left the window cracked open and the fan on. In early November it was cold and perfect. There was a window fan and a space heater in the closet we could have used if needed, but we didn’t need them.
