Our room was very clean, beds were comfy and the bathroom was very spacious. All staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again when we’re in the area.

Great location. Comfortable beds. Nice restaurant on site for breakfast. The air conditioner was noisy so we unplugged it (not a problem in October). The metal walkway to the second floor rooms was very loud and squeaky. Maybe that’s a nice feature- no one can sneak up on you in the night! 😉

Loved that they not only allowed dogs but welcomed them and provided towels and blankets for them, a very cute touch! The motel is also at the entrance to state park which was nice to walk in. We stayed on the second floor and did not enjoy how loud and noisy the porch around the second floor is. It's difficult to describe but is made of material similar to a boat dock and so every time someone walked by it was crazy loud and creaked. It was waking us up at all times of the night/early morning when people were coming and going.

I booked one room for three nights, and was bounced out of my room after one night, even with showing the clerk my confirmation numbers. Worse yet, my credit card has been charged for all 3 nights. What a nightmare, I could not have been less pleased. The desk clerk said that she had no record of my reservation, even tho that was done way in advance and billed to my credit card.

We went on Memorial weekend and we got seated right away and our food was served within 5 minutes after we ordered and they were packed. Lots of choices on their menu as well. This motel is located right outside the Peninsula State park so it was convenient for us for biking and hiking. And this motel is close enough to the shops and restaurants that you could walk and leave your car parked at the motel. We will definitely stay again.
