Staff was good. Room was neat and soft beds. Absolutely old school. We got clean towels when we needed them, as well as toiletries.
We were left to ourselves. The stay was quiet and pleasant.
The only thing was the door had to be slammed to shut. It was very loud.

Friendly staff. The property is dated. Could use some upgrades. The bed was clean/comfortable. The shower head in our bathroom needs to be replaced. Didn’t look sanitary so we avoided using it. Other than that, not a deal breaker but I wouldn’t stay more than a night.

The staff were friendly. The room was clean. The hotel needs to have some upgrades, (some bricks loose by the pool, paint peeling around hotel.
The price was good, and it was close to the port. It also was close to restaurants.
They offer free breakfast, but pickings were slim. (coffee, toast, cereal, and small muffins). But for the price, we were happy.
I think if they put some money into the appearance, it would be a very nice hotel.

Yes, the air conditioning was very good, Great hot water, Offer discounts for extended stay. Owners and staff very good.
Owners-staff, excellent. Rich Polished Black Granite furniture tops, great air condition, hot water! Everything is convenient! Value. Repairs and updates in works!
The hotel itself is a little older, but very nice. The staff are efficient and the room was also completely fine. Good value for the money, even if it is slightly older.

So let’s be clear on what you’re getting. The price, location and staff are AMAZING! So welcoming and friendly. The motel is older, dated but clean. I would have loved to see this place back in the day as it appears to have been quite the place. Breakfast is muffins and cereal- again sufficient but we opted to go to a pancake house.
I would stay again when taking a cruise and just need a place for the night.

Of course all the attractions within short distance. The Ocean just down the road. The essence of Warmth, Serenity, great place to write a Book and more! Repairs and updates in works!

It was good for a quick stay. The room was clean. It is a old beachside like hotel with rusty hinges, but comfortable and convenient.
The breakfast should just be called cereal and bread with apples there was nothing else on offer.
The hotel value for the money gave us options to eat elsewhere.
