Hotel is in a nice neighborhood. There were a lot of guests at the hotel and it was very quiet, so that was great. Very comfortable mattress and pillows. But the faucet for the shower was damn near impossible to figure out. Took forever for the water to heat up, and then it was lukewarm at best. No drain plug for the tub. After a day of walking my feet were killing me and all I wanted to do was sit on the edge of the tub and soak by feet, but couldn't plug the drain and put hot water in the tub. Also the tv had very poor selection of channels. Mostly sports. I really wanted to give this little hotel a great rating because I love that idea that they're not owned by a multi-national conglomerate. I would give this place 5 stars if they had hot water and better tv channels. Nice little place for a good price.

When checking in, there was no one at the front desk. We had to call reception. The booking info said we would pay when we checked in, but we were charged before we got to the motel. Then when we did check in, they charged another $50 deposit, which was not mentioned in the booking info. My party had two rooms - one was clean, with vinyl floors, and smelled like a fresh cleaning solution. The other had carpet which seemed to hold in the smell of many cleanings and smoking and cleaning and smoking. The air smelled stale.

Fisherman’s friend
The gentleman at the front counter was incredibly accommodating and kind. Although the building appears old and outdated, it was actually quite clean. This isn’t someplace I would take my family on vacation, but for old fisherman that just needs a few hours of sleep in between sets it was perfect and priced right!
