Good place to stay if you only need a good,comfortable place to sleep & take a shower. No table or chairs in the room to relax in or eat, eventhough there is a microwave. Thank you, Nancy & Joe

Good for fishermen and construction workers. Needs upgrading. We did not have sufficient towels, had to run extension cord from bathroom to beds for CPAP machines, insufficient hot water. The price was great.

Good in a last minute pinch.

No coffee pot. Three towels for four of us. Not the cleanest, but ok. Funky smell.
