Typical motel without a deck but clean and quiet. No hot water from arrival at 5 pm to departure next day at 9 am. Water just too cold for showers, which we found to be unacceptable.

David was so friendly during our check in. He went above and beyond helping with restaurants and had an extra blanket brought up to our room. The view from our room was amazing. Not some fancy high end resort, just a great place to stay that was quiet and comfortable and convenient.
View from our room.
