I consider myself a slave to name brand hotels, we took a chance with the spor and wow! Very clean, very nice very comfortable. The only drawback was the limited parking. I had to box in another guest to park. But overall amazing place. I wont think twice next time im in the area, the spot is my spot

Was a great place to stay for the evening - it was clean, beds were comfortable and a great shower head - all in all a good stay đź‘Ť

Renovated but grounds have not been kept up well. No person available after 5 to check in so required to do it virtually by uploading photos of drivers license and self, did not care for this requirement at all.

The room was good, nothing special. Sheets, towels and most surfaces were clean however light switches, blow dryer, outlets and between the shower doors were dusty and grimy. Walls in the bathroom by the sink were also dirty.

Area was noisy and hard to rest. The bed was good. Weird check in option.

Called the property over 7 times, waited for over an hour outside to see someone at the front desk despite the property page outlining that the desk is supposed to be staffed.
It became immediately obvious that this property has a single employee managing all aspects of the operation, which leads to these kind of issues at no fault of the employee. Seems to be a management problem overall.
Area is quite noisy, very limited walkable services, and was overall just an annoyance throughout.
I would not recommend this property to anyone, and if somone I knew was considering it, I would actively disuade them from it.

The room was great for the price! Renovated, cozy and everything you needed was there. Loved the rainfall shower and bathroom. The lady at the front desk was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again. The only downside was the loud traffic outside the motel. But you can fix that with ear plugs and the keypad was touchy and annoying for entry and exit. But like i said great value!

A unique hotel featuring a host of little pluses that made our stay great: simple check in, keyless entry, rainfall shower, hardwood floors.

Front desk clerk was unexpectedly off duty on my Sunday check in date several hours too early ahead of their stated operating hours on their hotel listing on this app, and unfortunately was not present to help me get into my room.
Their rooms have an electronic keycode access system, and the #104 room they assigned me was nonfunctional because door was stuck shut on the doorjam and wouldn't unlock normally by keying in the combination code buttons.
They made me waste two hours waiting in their unstaffed and closed lobby for their night shift staffer to arrive on site and solve the door problem.

Had a nice bathroom clean, and room was clean, but the sliding glass door was broken and hard to open and close, bed squeaked when we moved, the street was pretty loud lots of sirens over night. Very basic, painted cement wall made it feel dated and older.... parking lot had limited parking
2.0
The room itself looks clean enough, and the shower is great. However, when we got there the air "conditioner" was blasting on MAX heat, making the room truly unbearable. It was also only temperate on the coldest setting and louder than a jet plate taking off, which all made for a miserable stay.
4.0
Great place. Unclear instruction to open the door for the hallway . We spent 30 minutes pushing all the buttons as the display was faulty. Gladly at the end the door opened with the code given

The room (2queens) was clean. Looks like the property was recently remodeled. But it felt like made of cardboard. Noisy walking around in hall. The room was small
The front desk person was very nice, check in and out was very efficient

Beautiful room

Small. Super clean. Convenient. No amenities - basically room and parking lot. But paid laundromat is across the parking lot so that’s convenient. On the main road which is nice.
4.0
Facility looked recently renovated with luxury touch put on, but it is a motel style with sketchy feeling vibe. I had no internal lock available only keypad from outside, so it felt like anyone could walk-in at any point of time or kids were able to open the door by themselves and escape if needed. Staying with kids didn't feel safe.
Also, smell in the motel is very old and moldy, maybe it was just my room, not sure.
2.0
Overall, the room was great, especially the shower. The renos were nice. However, the bed was creaky and the pillows not the greatest. I should have known to bring my own pillow. My daughter and her partner had a different room and the bed wasn't creaky like mine. It was nice to have a back deck with table/chairs to enjoy in the evening. Will stay again, but will try a different room if possible.

We had a late arrival and checked in online. Everything worked out great.

The only issue was the lack of a hook in the bathroom. No place to hang a bathrobe or a change of clothes.

Small, quant property, only a couple rooms. Smaller venue
4.0
This is a quirky tiny motel close to the ferry. The keyless entry is convenient. The room is nicely decorated with eclectic wall surfaces and flooring. There is a barn door on the bathroom and rainshower & handheld shower wand. A small kitchenette with sink, microwave, coffe maker, and small fridge/freezer. The hotel had a small fenced in yard for the 3-4 downstairs rooms with a deck across the back. Each of the downstairs rooms had patio doors into the fenced yard. Small table and chairs were in front of each room.
The motel is Tiny and Cute so the bed pretty much takes up all the floor space. It is located on a very busy road.
