The location and size of the rooms are fabulous. Can't wait to come back.
Pros:

The room was wonderful. We had a room with 2 double beds. The room included a small table and 2 chairs along with a dresser and nice size TV and cabinet. The room even included a small kitchen area with sink, stove, microwave, and refrigerator. They even provided plates, utensils, etc. Everything was extremely clean which is a big plus. We were on the 3rd floor with a gorgeous view of the bay.

Cons:

The resort does not have an elevator, so being on the 3rd floor made it slightly difficult to carry all of our bags up a couple flights of stairs.

Very expensive for a 2.5 star motel
Pros:

The room was clean

Cons:

It is an old motel, there is no service to the rooms during our 3 day stay. There is no elevator and heavy luggage had to be catup to the third floor!

My stay was very comfortable and accommodating.
Pros:

Very easy to get to and a beautiful view of the bay. Ladies in the front office were very nice and accomidating. Lisa was very friendly and helpful. I apologize...I can't remember the young ladies name behind the counter but she was very helpful also.

Cons:

I only stayed 1 night but the only thing I can think of is the late check-in time. I didn't have 24 hrs there.

The stay was awesome the location was great, the staff was excellent . Picked a week when the weather was beautiful.
Pros:

Location and staff.

Cons:

The bed hurt my back, so I didn’t get a good rest. But it just might be that I’m old. The carpet needed shampooed, but it wasn’t a deal breaker.

Love waking up and seeing the bay. Only 2 block walk to the beach. A swimming pool right outside your door. Restaurants nearby. Coffee is ready when you wake up, available in the office.
