8/10 Good
"Well-cleaned room and kind staff. Scenic view and convenient location right next to the ferry terminal. Waterfront view was gorgeous! I was a little concerned about the mildew smell in the room and they didn’t seem to clean the outside patio area, which was full of cobwebs and spiders. But the room itself was fine."

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean, loved the access to the beach and close to the fun in the area. It would be nice to have 24 vending and access to a microwave. If we're staying in a budget motel, we're probably bringing our own food as well, so access to a microwave is essential, but the lobby with the only one was closed for several hours."
