We had a phenomenal experience. Clean room, no drama, and no worries about the neighbors! This is a well-kept establishment and as long as you don't expect a five-star resort for $100, you will be very pleased. The mother and son team that runs this place are very hard-working people. We look forward to returning.

The hotel staff is attentive, kind, and professional. The hotel is also right next to the dock so I was able to walk to my fishing charters in the morning. I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in town
