"The bed was comfy and room was clean. Bathroom was small with no countertop but it was fine. Hot water was sporadic. Location of the motel was very convenient to town and the park visitor center. Parking was easy. No place to sit and eat breakfast if chilly outside. Had to bring food back to room and eat while sitting on the bed. Muffins and coffee were good"

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was a King room next to the office. It was very clean, the staff was friendly. We enjoyed the walk from our hotel to downtown. If you are planning on walking from the hotel to the harbor and have any mobility issues, please note it is a bit of walk and should plan accordingly. The snacks, water and fresh coffee in the office was very convenient. Not to mention the coffee was really good. Even though there was not a "breakfast", there was fruit, oatmeal and snack bars available at all times along with the water and coffee. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend."
