the look of the hotel may throw you off, hotel check in was a breeze ground level rooms with easy access to your vehicle, we had our dogs so having a door with access to the green space located in the middle of the property was excellent the property is definitely in need of a facelift, but dont let that change you booking this place the beds are comfy, probably one of the best beds i have slept on, the room was cozy and warm shower has hot water and the coffee maker and fridge worked great

Some guy that appeared to live there started yelling at me and my dog when my food was deliver. "Kid" at the front desk was the only enjoyable part of the experience. I travel the island on a regular basis and most definitely will NEVER STAY HERE again. Over & Out

Overall gets the job done.

The shower wasn't more than a trickle most of the water went into the tub and was very hot and almost to the point of buring - but to have a somewhat warm trickle of water the hornwatwt had to be up. There were blue stains in the sheets from what looked like blue berries or another rype of berry that didnt come out.

5 stars: Sean was great! Friendly and very helpful. Gave us a choice of the 2 pet-friendly rooms as we traveled with 3 dogs. There was plenty of space for them to run. The beds were comfortable. Had a restaurant next door which was ok. A pub i short drive away that had amazing food. (Huge portions) 1star: the room was very old, run down and had the worst smell ever!! We even bought candles. They didn't help. The separate bedroom was a nice touch but the smell was unbearable. Slept with the window wide open. The tv was hanging downward from the wall which we had to fix ourselves. Had to fight to get connected to the internet. Shower was ok if you're 5' tall. Both kitchen chairs had a big hole in the seats. I'm not kidding, the smell of the room stayed on our clothes. We had booked room for 2 nights through Expedia with the 1 stipulation that it was fully refundable. We thought it was a perfect choice for where we wanted to explore. We checked out a day early because of being absolutely disgusted. My husband told me not to complain and to make up a lie why we were leaving because we are not rude people. Not much disgusts me but this place certainly did! Thinking that we would get a refund for the second night, we checked out. Could only reach management through the phone. Sean said there is normally no refunds but will see if we could give us a partial refund. I have tried calling 5 times since we left and he will not even answer the phone. Wasted $398!!! NOT IMPRESSED!!!

The motel is in a good location to explore the area. It is an older property but they have done a good job keeping the rooms clean. The bed was comfortable but because the back window is covered with cedar trees, the room is very dark. We were happy with our stay.

Pros: Suite was perfect for 3 adults (separate bedroom and sofabed in living room). Kitchen was convenient. Towels were cushy! A pet bed and gift pack was brought to our room upon check-in along with a personalized welcome note! Whisky Jack restaurant onsite was great. Cons: Air conditioning did not work well.
