Cromwell Harbor Motel

Cromwell Harbor Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying here! Completely exceeded my expectations. The room was very clean and it was the cleanest bathroom I’ve ever seen! Super comfortable place to stay and easy walk to downtown. The woman who worked the front desk was incredibly friendly and accommodating - letting us check in early, as well as letting us keep our car in the lot for the day after we checked out. We will definitely be staying here again!"
