Nice little hotel by the harbor. Five stars all around, except for some reason I always get the room with the annoying heater/fan/ac. Turns on/off way too frequently and makes enough noise to keep me awake. Otherwise, the place is pretty quiet, friendly staff and free breakfast.

nice and comfortable renovated room next to harbor
nice and clean comfortable stay motel located just next to the harbor side. Room was renovated with a dual pane sliding patio door to block out noise from the busy intersection. Our 2 night stay included free breakfast which served bagels bread and scrambled eggs out of a box kind. Unfortunately, no DIY pancake waffle makers like most hotel chains have.
