Accommodations here are praised for their cleanliness and comfort, with guests noting friendly and helpful staff.

We stayed in the beginning of July for a couple of nights. We loved the location to watch the beautiful sunset. The room was great, comfy bed, good shower and walkable location to restaurants, trails and of course the water. We highly recommend and would stay here again. I must add that the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Villa motel rooms are modern and clean, but a bit too small, especially the bathroom which is really tiny. Overall, good value for money

Great location! Excellent customer service! There was no air conditioning in our two bedrooms apartment suite but it wasn't very hot after we opened the windows. The bathtub has a little bit of yellow stain from the water. The tub water is a little yellow and doesn't look good for drinking or cooking. Parking is included and it was right in front of our unit.

Loved the cabins. Very clean and comes with tv, fridge, and bathroom. We also had a bbq outside which worked well. Would definitely recommend. Would be slightly better if there was a microwave, but so worth it

The woman working the desk at the office deserves a raise for her stellar help and knowledge of the hotel and the town. Was extremely friendly and helpful. Was cheerful and upbeat. Hotel or villa we are in is off site from the rest of the motel and and newly renovated rooms. The only issue has been a small leak coming from the mini fridge. Bed was comfortable and the heating and fans are making the temperature perfect as you can control it all.
