Our stay was wonderful, the room was clean and tasteful. They have done a fantastic job remodeling but also keeping the charm of the motel’s history. I would warn that in the winter (it was absolutely frigid outside) it may take some time for the wall heater to get the room up to a comfortable temp.

If you want to stay in a Cozy, spotless room with such fine attention to detail look no further! This family owned business looks at all details big and small to make you feel comfortable and Taken care of. I always sleep soundly. The retro furnishings, vintage lighting and small touches make each room unique and special. The owners are on site and personally make sure you are taken care of! I’ve stayed in a lot of the waterfront hotels and this one of my top 3 places!
