A nice place for an overnighter

This is a quaint little motel. Very clean, close to restaurant, mall, and other essential services. It is a reasonable distance from the ferry. It is older and somewhat dates but everything worked fine. It is quiet. Just what was needed for a restful night before the ferry

The host was very nice and gave us great sightseeing info. Our room was nice, with everything we needed, but it needed updating. The bay window needed work and the bathroom was out of date, with not enough places to hang towels to dry.

The room floor was not clean. My feet were black walking across the bathroom floor, had to ask for coffee, tea, sugar, shampoo, and towels. The bottom of one chair was all falling apart, was not impressed with the room at all. When we arrived, I told them that I had two small dogs 7 1/2 pounds each And told this was OK. We were out pretty well all day long and the dogs were only there at night to sleep when we walked them. We totally cleaned everything up. Upon leaving The Owner/manager stopped my car and told me that I would have to pay for the dogs. This was not told to me at the beginning They said the dogs were fine. Upon receiving my credit card bill he has charged me. I feel they are not honest people and would never recommend anybody to the spot. Very disappointed with my booking through Expedia as they should be aware of how these dishonest people treat others.
