You get what you pay for. This place was not expensive, it was clean and good for a nights stay. The front desk person did a good job but had no personality nor was he over friendly but thats not that important to me. The room itself is quite dated and even though its been remodeled it is old. The road noise was immense, cant help that as the main hwy road is 40 ft from the rooms.

Its a basic motel. The front staff initially messed up my reservation as I had booked a room with 2 beds and they put us in a single queen room. I brought it to their attention and they were super helpful, offering a new room to fix their error. The location is ok, right on the hwy and easy to find. Rooms are brick walls, so poor cell reception in them. Bathroom has a stall shower which was small.

The rooms were basic but recently updated. Bed was comfy and clean and the room had ammenities such as fridge and coffee maker. It is located close enough to the ferry to be convenient and the price was reasonable. It is along a busy street though, so a bit noisy.
