"View is..."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The rooms are nice but could use some remodeling. Great TV and shower is nice. Daily housekeeping was also a plus. Staff very friendly and helpful. On site restaurant was better than average but a bit pricey. Room rate very reasonable for marina view motel. A very relaxing stay with a nice pool area.
