It was an older motel that was in the process of remodeling and was lacking some of the furniture. I asked the manager for a microwave and he loaned his. He has only been there 2 1/2 months and working hard to improve the place.

Room(s) were very bare. Just a bed. No electrical outlets except for the TV, and microwave. The one bedroom had one, and it didn’t work. Maybe under construction, but very lacking!!

The room needed a lot of work. The bathroom floor was dirty, the shower taps were loose, and it was obvious that the owners had not spent any money on the motel for decades. The photo suggests that it is old but reasonably well cared for, but this is deceptive.

We did not have any idea that a hotel could be so bad. When we were checked in, that place had too much smoke smell. We stayed here just for one night. The room and the washroom had intolerable bad smell (like dead rat). In washroom there were no hot water supply. No toiletries. We used our own sleeping bag for sleeping due to unhygienic environment. We were waiting for the sunrise so that we can leave this filthy room as soon as possible. This hotel listing must be removed from the Expedia.

The room itself is good. But there are some terrible bugs which could bite you when you are sleeping can cause itch for days.

We booked with hotels.com we arrived at about 2am and no one there. they did not answer the phone or door bell.We could here their phone ringing through the glass door. Called hotels.com who tried to call with no answer. They did not provide us this service at all and refuse to give us a refund. They are crooks. NO ONE should ever ever stay here! I will probably never use hotels.com either someone needs to be held responsible if they don't provide you the service. Very very disappointed in how they can rip people off.

There was a mouse in the bathtub. Someone had done repairs in the bathroom, painted or caulked over the bad job and now there is grime in the lousy repair.

Great if you are not in the room too much. The bed was comfortable but the couch not as much. It was the perfect location for us near the ferry terminal and the disc golf course.

Cheaper motel in an older section of town, right on the road. It is definitely old, a bit run down but everything was clean and it worked. The bed was good enough to sleep upon but the couch hurt my back to sit on for more than five minutes.
