Stayed 1 night

The room we stayed in (#3) was featured on their Expedia page and on their website and looked very good as far as motels are concerned, but we're pretty sure the photo was taken many, many years ago because everything in the room was just old and worn. The sheets and blankets were stained, and my husband was dubious as to whether they were even cleaned, so we ended up sleeping fully clothed. We didn't sit on the sofa because it was stained. In the shower, we didn't look up because there were dead bugs on the clear "shower ceiling" above us. Lastly, we woke to a rat rustling around in the ceiling overhead. =( On the plus side, while the weather was stormy, we could see that there would have been a terrific view from our room. Also, the staff member I dealt with, an older woman, was very pleasant, super friendly, and helpful. And we liked the fact that it was pet-friendly; this was pretty much our only lodging option in the area.

The view was amazing but the motel is old and very dated. The room had a musty smell. I was disappointed. The photos on website are not like the reality.

Photos on website is not an accurate representation of the condition of the units. We arrived and decided not to stay there. We had to pay for the first night due to late cancellation, but relieved not to stay there. The rooms smell, the carpets are worn and the bed felt terrible. Not a place we will recommend to anyone, just not worth it!
