Good location for our interests, nice hot breakfast, ok parking. Would stay again.
Pros:

Hot breakfast really nice. Good breakfast staff. Front desk staff very nice. Good location - but Homer is pretty little, even so, really glad not on the spit.

Cons:

The room was good, but there was an 8 to 10 inch in diameter spot under the rug in front of the bed closest to the door. My socks stuck to it when I walked there and the tile was sticky also. Probably a soda spill. Otherwise very good.

It was ok
Pros:

Free breakfast

Cons:

No lock for the bathroom. Maybe because it was for a handicapped person. Floor in the room was slanted. Walls are kinda hollow. Can hear people walking and things going on outside.

Overall great. Close to everything..
Pros:

Very nice. A bad experience with a family in front of us. The father filled a couple plates with bacon and all sorts of food . As much as he could carry and left. I suppose theres one in every group..no refelction on the motel. Just a reflection on his upbringing.

Cons:

Maybe numbering the parking spots as we had a room on ground floor. it would have been nice to park near our room.

It was ok. Probably would not stay again.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and even helped me out in a pinch when my car wouldn’t start.

Cons:

I was told we would have rooms in the main building as I had two rooms booked and young adults staying in one. I didn’t want their room going straight to the outdoors. Instead we got put in the corner of the outer building where there were just a lot of smokers around that area and no secure entrance before you get to the rooms. My bedroom was right beside the laundry room, so when someone decided to do laundry at 11pm I had to listen to the spin cycle banging constantly against the bedroom wall … it was very loud and I had 2 small children with me.

Pros:

Great bed, wonderful breakfast, friendly staff. Only recommendation is bring some earplugs because the walls are a bit thin and people get up early to be on the water.
