"At the last minute, I was unable to come, so my adult daughter stayed there alone. She raved about the facility and the staff, so this review is based on her rave and on both her conversations with Dorothy and my phone conversation with Dorothy. She was unusually friendly and helpful."

"It definitely was giving seedy motel. The room was moist and smelled like mildew. There was hair from the previous guest left in the shower, the towels were small and scratchy, and I was scared to walk on the floor barefoot. It got the job done, but I felt dirty the whole time I was there."

"Such a great location to the sea front and to Stearns Wharf. The staff were also really friendly and the room was great. I will say though if you have super thick/long hair like I do, the showers will take longer as the water pressure isn’t very strong (just my opinion though.) For men and for women ..."
