We stayed in one of the family suites with the double bunk beds! We loved it for our family... everyone had their own full sized bed. And the kids loved the pool. Also, it was a short walk to Old Town.

Super clean and adorable. Some shops and food in walking distance. My only complaint is that the wifi was really bad and it made it almost impossible to do work calls.

Loved this place, What a great little motel! It was amazing not to mention the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in other than our own home. The extra lockoff bunk room for our family of 6 was a pleasant surprise addition as well!! The staff was also super friendly
