Good for a short stay

Motel backs above the river. If possible get a room with a patio facing the river. Our room was fine. Microwave and frig. Bathroom was in the process of being remodeled. What was done was lovely. Very nice family owner. Has an outdoor pool and is pet friendly. Good location.

Older property but in a very convenient location. Easy walk into town or to the lake along the river walk. Rooms are pretty basic. Microwave & refrigerator in the room. Keurig coffeemaker in the office so only available during office hours. Rooms really need room darkening curtains and pillows are terrible, so bring your own. A/C is loud but that helps block the noise from neighbors going in and out of cars right outside your room.

Room without a view

The hotel is on the river which is nice. We cancelled our stay and were refunded the entire amount because we were under the impression we would have a walk out patio to enjoy the view. Double check your reservation or call ahead if you are expecting this as advertised. Without the patio the room was very small and the bed not great and not worth the high price.

Our stay was a good one. The room was no frills but very clean. The staff were open and friendly. We had a slider and was able to enjoy watching the boats come and go as we drank out coffee in the morning. Seems that they cater to fisherman, who can dock in there marina. As a result, the property was quiet. When we travel we look for places like this so we can travel about. If you like a clean, quiet place, give this place a good look.

Great location right on the channel, many rooms have sliders with a walkout patio and chairs overlooking the channel, also within walking distance to the beach and downtown.

The property brought back that nostalgia past! Very clean, beds comfortable! Walk out of your room to a small patio and sit on very nice rockers and stare out on the water and watch the boats go by! If you need all the amenities and outlets in all the rooms, not the place for you! If you want peace and to reflect this is your place! They are updating and working on the electrical! So.. more outlets to come! Trista in the office very sweet and helpful on places to eat! You do have to go to the office for your morning coffee! They are working on that! There are fridges and microwaves in the room! Highly recommend! Looking forward to our next stay!! I'm sorry the other host name has slipped my mind, didn't meet her but she kept us informed on what was going on!! Enjoy
