we were pleasantly surprised at how convenient the motel was. The room was tidy and clean and the heater was on when we arrived on a wet cold day. A lovely touch and made us feel welcome. My husband is handicapped and the parking right outside made it easy. We will use the motel again.

I stayed for one night with a group of three while visiting the island. The front desk was friendly at check-in and check-out and provided excellent customer service! :) The room was great overall, and there was parking right outside the room. I would recommend it!!
