Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
What a wonderful time I had staying at the Mermaid Rest Motel. Booking was very easy and straight forward. I was not expecting such a nice room. Very large and extremely clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook a meal. There was plenty of lighting and best of all everything worked. I loved the mini-split Heat Pump. Nice and quiet unlike those thru the wall PTAC's. Definitely a 5-star A experience!
