      Nicely updated motel with a great location

      We thought the rooms were nicely updated and clean. The location was the perfect walking distance to the wharf and to restaurants and wine tasting rooms. The front desk staff was pleasant and welcoming. There's a nice little outdoor courtyard to sit and relax.
