Grate place in awesome location. Right in the middle of "Paradise". If you like nature you are in the right spot. All in walking distance and the ride to see the penguins is only 15 minutes. The staff was friendly and the room very spacey.

we were pleasantly surprised at how convenient the motel was. The room was tidy and clean and the heater was on when we arrived on a wet cold day. A lovely touch and made us feel welcome. My husband is handicapped and the parking right outside made it easy. We will use the motel again.
