It's very small for a suite. Also, the cleanliness was questionable with popcorn in the pullout of the couch. Coffee maker made cold coffee. All in all it was not bad but not great either.

The place was updated with walk in shower. Kitchen with fridge & kitchen suite and all utensils. They continued to provide coffee & creamer for the length of our stay. Everything was clean and in excellent shape. We saw a peacock and deer in the yard. Excellent coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, parks, trails & beaches within short drives from the motel. We stayed for a week and we plan on returning next time we return to the island.
