The rooms are a good size with a big bathroom. There is a table with 2 chairs, a couple seats outside too, and the mic/fridge are a great bonus. Room was immaculately clean when we arrived. Motel is near the ferry terminal which is nice as well

Only one thing that my daughter or I didn't like was the bed was bouncy and uncomfortable. Other than that everything else was good. Oh and even though breakfast wasn't included the restaurant next door was delicious 😋 Rooms were clean.
