The owner is a local and not managed by a chain. Call her directly and it is cheaper than on Expedia (sometimes). She is great and this is a nice spot.

Everything was excellent. The only issues were no in-room coffee maker and no ice machine on site, but I totally understand why they don’t have those amenities. We will absolutely be staying here again whenever we visit Port A and recommend you to friends!
