So great we stayed an extra day. We opted for the third floor and the view was sensational. Great location on the “French” side of town. Near some excellent restaurants and shops and close to a grocery store. Inside lots of space and nicely appointed. Very clean, marvelous shower and the bed was very comfortable. Air conditioned bliss. You can’t go wrong staying here. ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike 4 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great motel, with nice friendly owners and nice clean room with excellent views. ##### Mike Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesus Ivan 22 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent hotel, beautiful views and friendly staff ##### Jesus Ivan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 10 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely motel - great location, views of the waterfront with restaurants and shops on the doorstep.
