We were there for an overnight and it was very nice. The area was very clean and maintained, nothing fancy, just a nice quiet place to stay overnight and at a budget point we could afford.

Comfy, clean, accordable.
We weren't looking for frills, just wanted an economical, clean room and a good nights sleep, which we had, the beds were very comfortable. The place was busy, but quiet. I would stay there again.

Good place to crash prior to departure on ferry
Quiet, clean. Carpet was new. The chairs had seen better days. Had a nice mini fridge
Bed was fine just not mine. Ifykyk... Safe for a single traveler. Close to the ferry.

Typical dated motel
If you are passing thru and need a cheap motel this is sufficient. Would not recommend staying more than a night. Room is small. Bikers seem to favor this place as lots were staying here.
