Certainly! Here’s your updated review with the mention of the quiet atmosphere: ⸻ The young man who checked us in was very kind and friendly. As a single mom traveling with my child, I felt safe staying here, which meant a lot. I appreciated the lawn chairs outside, as well as the large trash and recycling bins conveniently located every few doors down. Another bonus was the 24-hour gas station and market within easy walking distance. While it’s an older motel, the rooms were clean and came with nice, fluffy towels. The area was quiet, making it easy to relax and get a good night’s sleep. If you’re looking for an affordable place to stay, this is a good option.

Affordable and not to far from all of the action

The only complaint I have is that there was not a stopper for the bathtub. Not a huge deal, would have rather sat in some hot water for a while after a 7 hour drive but I'm not that picky. Despite the condition of the area, I had and overall great experience.

Excellent place to stay

My husband and I spent the night after attending a wine anniversary party and felt the room was very nice and clean. Checking in with Raul, he was so pleasant so nice and so friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only downside was we had loud people above us.

Good property to stay at just to rest and go exploring in surrounding areas. Staff was kind and nice enough to give us food recommendations and things to do. Clean. Comfy beds. Not a bad area either. All in all I would book again if I come back.

A great stay in Marina.

This was a good clean hotel room. One of the highlights was when we checked in the young man at the reception desk had some recommendations of local sights to see and restaurants to dine at. We followed his advice and we were very pleased with the outcome. The hotel shares a corner lot with a gas station which was quieter than I expected and convenient when we needed it.
