A great ending to a long day
What a great place to end up at after a long, long day of driving. Since they do remote check-in, I called in while enroute to get my room number and door entry code, and the lady I chatted with was wonderful and friendly. I arrived late, and her directions, even telling me what parking spots would be open, was spot on. Room was clean, well kept and looked recently renovated. I slept great. It was pouring rain when I arrived so the roof overhang was a godsend when moving my gear into my room, keeping everything dry. Price was great, I would stay there again for sure, the next time I am in the area.

The room was nice and clean. A little outdated but comfortable. However the room did smell like stale smoke bad. Had some allergies from it.

4/10 Fair

I don’t understand the high rating for this motel. It is nothing special and now, remotely managed. When we got there our room door was wide open and the inside smelled of cigarette smoke and the bed of urine. The next night, we returned at 11 pm to find we were locked out. It took three times calling the remote manger’s number to get a person, to find out they had changed the combination. Not recommended.

Decent and comfortable
This is a simple but nice motel. The room was homey, warm, and comfortable. Also, the shower instantly had hot water that didn’t run out, which was much appreciated. Amenities included a microwave, a decently sized mini fridge, and a TV with some good channel and streaming options. Also check-in was super easy—they just text or email you with the room number and the keypad code. The bed was fine, kinda springy with middling to soft firmness. The sheets were soft but quite warm (polyester) and the AC/heater was a little fiddly to figure out. I’d probably stay there again as it’s good quality for the price and convenient for the area. I came for the dark sky headlands and it was super close to the entrance.

2/10 Poor

We didn’t have any coffee, conditioner, shampoo And the bathroom was very, very dark. It needs a new light - It was old. The one bed almost fell off of the metal frame it was on!!! After I said, they review, the office said there was coffee in the office. I don’t want to come in my PJs to get the coffee - Ridiculous!

Went with my daughter's for our annual Fall trip. It's a decent place to stay for a few nights. Clean room, comfortable beds. The shower head was very wonky and the water would turn from warm to super hot to cold, but other than that, all good. Very convenient location! Close to ferry, restaurants, and Dark Sky Park!

The place was nice, quiet and safe. The refrigerator did not work, however. We are just letting the owners know so that they can inspect before the next guests.
