Motel offered a good value and great location, with friendly, helpful staff
Pros:

Lovely location overlooking the bay, close to the Roosevelt International Park. The two staff members we met were both friendly and helpful. The bed was soft and comfy, and the room was very clean. The room had a small fridge and microwave, both of which we used. There were chairs just outside the room to sit in and enjoy the bay view. The Porch restaurant next door is within walking distance and had good food.

Cons:

The bathroom was small and felt cramped, and the shower leaked water onto the floor. The property is an older one and the room had an unpleasant smell common in humid locations, though I got used to it. The walls are thin and we could hear the people on either side of us. Recommend ear plugs. I also recommend an eye mask as there was a lot of ambient light in the room.

A great spot for a peaceful trip. 
Pros:

Very kind staff and beautiful location.

Cons:

Quiet and peaceful place. It had the retro charm of the old beach colleges, but it was well kept and clean.

Excellent value stay
Pros:

Our room was clean and decor was fresh and modern. The manager was great to answer all our questions. The only drawback for me is the bed is extremely soft, a minor issue really.

Cons:

Firmer bed, shampoo and body wash dispenser.

Pros:

Location was great, convenient to get around the island and explore, and a nice view of the sea. Staff was very kind.

Cons:

Rooms were not very sound-proof (thin walls). We liked that there was a fridge, but there wasn't a comfortable place to eat breakfast indoors. Fortunately it was warm enough to eat out at the picnic tables.
