verkehrsgünstig gelegen und toller Blick aufs Wasser
Pros:

Direkter Blick aufs Wasser, großes Bett.

Cons:

Wir konnten unser mitgebrachtes Frühstück nicht essen, weil es zwar Toaster (im Kleiderschrank versteckt) und Wasserkocher gab, aber keine Teller und Besteck.

I would get a more modern fan so save energy and more quiet.
Pros:

The view was so beautiful. It was very clean and the bed was very confutable

Cons:

Too noisy due to a hwy right beside the motel. Too hot when windows close. The fan was too noisy to turn on. The water had a funny smell coming from the faucet.

Wonderful!
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable motel. We had the suite with a kitchen, and it was well equipped for making meals. The hosts are wonderful. They gave us lots of recommendations for places to go around the island and couldn't have been more welcoming. We'd gladly stay again!

Amazing view, clean, inexpensive, kind manager, needs serious updating and maintenamce.
Pros:

Tina, the manager, was terrific. Helpful, kind, engaging.

The place was very clean.

Great location.

Inexpensive.

Amazing views from our room.

Cons:

The facility needs serious updating.

We heard everything through the walls on both sides.

Our room had one table lamp and its shade was torn.

Our bed creaked loudly enough that we made jokes about it.

The bathroom fan sounded like a wounded animal and one of the light bulbs was literally burned at the base.

Two guest chairs were covered in peeling vinyl.

Overall, great for a one-night stay
Pros:

Nice views from my window.

Cons:

There was no AC or fan in my room. It felt like a sauna when I first walked in. Not that big of a deal.

Très bon séjour
Pros:

Très bon accueil. Le réceptionniste est très sympathique. Il a pris du temps pour nous expliquer les endroits à ne pas manquer sur le Cabot trail. Merci à lui. En outre la vue est exceptionnelle. La chambre est confortable et assez grande.
Dans le restaurant situé juste à côté nous avons pu faire un dîner de homard.

Cons:

Il ne faisait pas très chaud. Donc le chauffage fonctionnait et faisait beaucoup de bruit. Difficile de dormir en étant réveillé à chaque mise en route de la chaudière.
