The room is large, the pillows are soft and the matress is good. What gets this property its low rating is its internet service. While quite good near the pool it is unusable in the motel rooms. I had some success connecting to the open network at the resort next door. I know it’s probably unfair to rate a motel on its internet but it’s important to me as a solo traveler.
Pool was open but no breakfast due to COVID.
GOOD: We had no problems at check in although the front desk area/room smelled like old B.O. The interior of the rooms was actually not bad considering how old and run down the exterior of the cabin was. We had the king size bed/ jacuzzi room. The jacuzzi was great and enjoyed the fact it was in a seperate room. The hotel location was very convenient to all of the shopping and ferries. The maids did a respectable job the one day we needed them.
BAD: The shower was ridiculous. First of all, you have to be about 4 feet tall to get under the shower head and the water pressure was almost non existent. The cabin's exterior was in horrible shape. The website shows them as painted white/cream in color which looks clean when in actuality they had an old worn out red barn color and were covered in spider webs at all times. There was no attempt to clean them at all and my fiancee is horrified by spiders. I understand we're up north and you will have bugs but to make no attempts to clean these old spider webs is mystifying. The bed was terribly hard and we both woke up with back aches and we are still fairly young people. (late 20's/early 30's) The continental breakfast/ indoor pool is actually at the sister hotel next door so you might as well stay there for the money.
CONCLUSION: We are not picky people and usually make the best of most situations but I won't return. These problems stem from simply not understanding their customer's needs or just plain ignorance. They weren't that much cheaper to justify the bad qualities. I would highly encourage you to not bring other couples/families with you should you dare to stay because it would be humiliating. The rating system should have 1 and half stars because it was far from "okay, but some problems" but not completely terrible.

"The cabins in front are cute and expensive. The rooms in back look nice but ours was not well maintained."Read full review
