Parking is convenient and the building is clean inside and outside. The rooms are comfy and clean and free of smoke smell. The linens smell clean and fresh. The bathrooms are clean and all the white surfaces are white and towels are neatly folded.

Fisherman’s friend
The gentleman at the front counter was incredibly accommodating and kind. Although the building appears old and outdated, it was actually quite clean. This isn’t someplace I would take my family on vacation, but for old fisherman that just needs a few hours of sleep in between sets it was perfect and priced right!

Great place to stay in a quaint town by the lake
Very nice, helpful staff. The room was actually kind of large and perfect for our little family. There was a king bed and a full size bed. Everything was very clean. The sheets smelled very clean. The hotel probably needs some updating but it is a roadside motel and was well worth it for the price, service, and cleanliness. It’s also near a beautiful beach and Marina, so I do recommend it.

The hotel smelled liked bad Curry and the room we stayed in was a horrible cigarette smell to the point where my fiancé and I couldn’t breath. But what can you truly ask for $160 for 2 nights. Overall the trip was fun but would have enjoyed it more if we staid at a different place.

Property has changed ownership and new owners were busy making upgrades. Still some work to be done, but think it should be 5-star in a little while.

Keep the price in mind!
We were a little skeptical when we first arrived, but it was decent inside. The motel had a clean smell throughout and the staff greeted us right away. This was the first hotel that we have stayed where we received an actual key, versus a key card, but it seems they are in the middle of some renovations. The room was clean and spacious, included a fridge, microwave, 32" TV, and free Wi-Fi. As long as your not expecting a 5 star hotel for $70 a night, you should be perfectly happy with your stay at this motel. Especially being 20 minutes from Six Flags!

Liked: Amenities
The place provides decent sleeping options at a lower price than local competitors and the room is in good basic shape, though rather old on maintenance. However, the wifi is public,the breakfast options (cheap cereal, juice and coffee) feel more like gas station fare than the advertised "continental breakfast" and it would have been appreciated if the owner had mentioned that the room was facing the street.
