If you're planning to take the morning ferry and just need an easy, inexpensive place to sleep and take a shower, this is a good choice. The rooms are somewhat dated and the bed was a little harder than I like, but the staff is friendly and helpful and they served me decent breakfast (including freshly made fried eggs). I would consider this an elevated roadside motel experience, and a good value for the nightly price.

John, Candence, and Mike (staff) made the stay super pleasant. My wife stay there as her father was in the ICU in Yarmouth. The friendliness of the staff and the extra effort they put in to make the stay more pleasant was above and beyond despite the tough circumstances she was under. There was also a mistake in billing and they PROMPTLY fixed it. We highly recommend this property and will return for a true vacation which will be under better circumstances. We cannot say enough good things about the property, friendliness and kindness of the staff.

We were on a motorcycle adventure and this place was perfect for our needs. We arrived off the ferry around 7:30 p.m. and it was merely six or eight blocks up the road. They had an outdoor pool if you wanted and they had a washer and dryer on site. They served breakfast in the morning and cooked eggs to your liking. For off-site eateries the router is awesome and is five or six blocks away, McDonald's is Two Doors Down and KFC is across the street. Not exactly a Waldorf Astoria type joint but the people were great and we got a good night's sleep before starting our journey

The room was clean and comfortable and the motel was situated close to amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was basic but tasted OK, although a little more choice would be great. There is no vegetarian option other than Cereal, toast, muffins and begats. Breakfast area was well set out and clean which ticks all the boxes. I wpuld definitely stay there again next time im in Yarmouth.

Terrible insulation. People stay above us started to take a shower 6am and water pipe sound was like a roller coaster. Then walking hammer for an hour. It went through ear plugs. Totally ruined our sleep, and make next day so tired.

Unfortunately the pool was closed for maintenance, they were adding chemicals. We were a group of 6 friends & asked if we could simply sit in the pool area on the lawn chairs and were told no because of this inconvenience we were virtually left with no slit to enjoy the beautiful day. If not for this would certainly had given a higher rating. Everything else was good with the property
