The location of this motel is ideal. You're no more than 5 minutes from everything you need. A quick and easy drive from the ferry terminal, great beaches, the downtown core, easy access to shops, and restaurants. But, the best part of this stay was the staff. I have honestly never met friendlier and more welcoming staff at a hotel. They couldn't do enough for you and make sure our stay was to our needs.
