An older motel that provided ok accomodations. Even with temps in the 50's, the rooms were very warm. Small room with no place for luggage. Staff was wonderful.

Definitely needs to be deep cleaned, I.e., mold issues. Otherwise was relatively ok, a place to sleep before 6am fishing.

Clean, basic accommodation. Very old property and poorly maintained though clean and in a very safe and convenient area. If all you are looking for is a safe, clean place to sleep, this is fine. If you are expecting a nicer place, don’t book here. They were very nice and helpful and we were fine with the place though I feel it is very expensive for the quality of the space you are renting.

Great stay

Our room was dated (furnishing wise) but was very clean with a comfy bed. It had a very small balcony that overlooked the water and mountains which was perfect for watching and photographing sunset! No breakfast but coffee and tea are always available in the front office.
