Good location. The bed was quite comfy and the room was clean. Soundproofing is not ideal (for the lack of better words). If you're not an extreme early bird, you will definitely hear more than you'd like.

Smokey room
Room smelled horribly of cigarette smoke as soon as I walked in. I went and asked for a different room but they were fully booked. They offered a slight discount, but my room was prepaid so that didn't help. She suggested I air it out. I checked out the next morning and found a different hotel. My clothes smelled even.

Nice location on the water. Great restaurant next door. The motel room was fine but the outside looked pretty dodgy.
