Simple stay
Location was great, motel was quiet, just what we needed. It’s nothing fancy, but has everything you need. The only complaint is that there was no air conditioning and the weather was very hot (30 degrees) and sleeping was quite uncomfortable.

This is a motel with limited amenities. It is across the world from the somewhat scenic harbourfront, so doesn't really have nice views. What 's worse, they advertise that they have kitchenettes, but when you arrive they tell you that you may not cook seafood, or any other smelling food. What food doesn't smell?

Great location and value.
Not a fancy place by any means but clean and very comfortable. Management was very friendly and helpful. It was well stocked if you want to do some cooking in the room. We only made coffee and used electric kettle. Bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept on. Only negative is parking is a little tight but it is fine. Would be my first choice if I come back.

This is a great property in a very convenient location if you are catching the morning ferry. Tge rooms are clean, comfortable and well equipped. The property does not have air conditioning, but as you're very close to the ocean, you don't need it. It also does not have an elevator. Depending on how much you're unloading from your vehicle this may be a problem as you will need to walk up stairs.

Clean and convenient. The staff were so good. Accommodating our needs and very friendly. This is an old motel and as such does not have air conditioning. The staff has provided the rooms with fans and does their best. The room ended up being comfortable despite this.
