I was very skeptical when I read the reviews but also used other sources to check on reviews and took a chance. I wanted something very close to the ferry since I was coming in in the evening and need a good night's rest before moving to my next destination a few hours away.
When I checked in, the woman up at the front desk was very friendly and I learned that I could park right in front of my room...in front of the sliding glass doors, that is. Not only could I unload/load from the back of my room... the sliding glass door were double glass. Like 2 different sets of doors. I'm not sure if that was as insulation from harsh cold winters or if that was a safety factor. Or both.
Either way, you could not get in without going inside the front door and opening the door from the key inside the hall, but then you could unlock both doors and get to your car from the back of your room. I had never seen this kind of set up before - and I thought it was quite convenient. Especially in my situation where I am traveling with pets and have a lot to bring in and back to the car...
Once inside, although everything was brown...and kinda dated...it was spacious, had everything I needed, a giant tv, a clean and comfortable bed, plenty of space to put all of my stuff and my pets' stuff...
And, it was CLEAN!
The bathroom was clean, the shower had its own bar of soap along with the bathroom sink (so happy for that...finding many places only providing ONE bar). Also, they had shampoo and conditioner on the wall.
I usually like to go OUT for breakfast and find local fare. But I was on a mission to go on an excursion and I was late so I had breakfast there. I was super happy to see a make your own waffle station, there were hot scrambled (and seasoned) eggs and shot sausage patties. I also had coffee and a little bit of apple juice. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty ALL of it was. It was quick and free.
When I went to the front desk after breakfast, I mentioned I was running out on an excursion and might be running a little late...they were so nice and let me have a late check out (requested the night before) and when I got back from my excursion, I was later than I expected and took longer getting packed up and into the car with all the pet stuff... I told them I would understand if they needed to charge me something for staying so much later than our original agreed-to late check out time... They said that wouldn't be necessary.
What lovely people! And what a lovely place. I have no idea why the other reviews are so bad - I an only say none of them are recent so maybe something changed...? But this was a great stay! I only deducted one star for it being dated and all brown. read more
