There are no indoor dining tables, only a few available on an outdoor deck, so there really isn't a comfortable place to sit and have coffee or breakfast. The bicycles are in poor condition; we couldn't find one with working brakes, and the handlebars were unsafe. We stayed for four nights in two rooms, but our room was not cleaned properly. Sometimes, only one bed was made by the cleaning crew, while the other bed was left messy just as we had left it. It was quite strange. I'm not sure if they ever changed our sheets. The reason I give this place three stars is because of the price. It was a good deal on the room through Expedia when booked early and paid for upfront. The sister hotel up the road is much nicer.

Affordable option

This is an old motel that got a face lift. While the accommodations are simple, it is clean comfortable and modern. It’s in a great location and was much more affordable than most other options in town. My only complaint was the inconsistency of the breakfast - it was great but only on the days when they had everything in stock.
