Staff was good. Once in the room the sheets had not been change had makeup on the top sheet. Staff took a picture and change the sheet for us. The carpet was dirty how I know my socks where filthy. The corner of the bathroom where disgusting with build up dirt. The tube had water leaking from the faucet which was completely rusted out and it was quite a lot. I have know idea how this place stays open. But have a picture of it about 20 years ago iit look great.

Okay, here's the thing, while we appreciate the cost at $146 for the night this place was not what was advertised. It's almost completely run down, it's cleanliness was okay I guess but not really deep clean. You get what you pay for but half the cost of other places.

So let’s be clear on what you’re getting. The price, location and staff are AMAZING! So welcoming and friendly. The motel is older, dated but clean. I would have loved to see this place back in the day as it appears to have been quite the place. Breakfast is muffins and cereal- again sufficient but we opted to go to a pancake house. I would stay again when taking a cruise and just need a place for the night.
