    It was adequate with the potential to have been great.

    • Superior Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    We stayed in the Llama room. Two guests, only one chair. One tiny night table was not adequate to accommodate two guests and one CPAP machine. The tiny lamp was not adequate for reading. Winter coats had to hung with dressing gowns. Shelving for personal items in bathroom was insufficient. We didn’t use the shower as water was lukewarm. It’s the dead of Winter. The snow to the door and along the walkway could have been removed for our arrival on Sunday.

    The breakfast and location were as expected.

    Recommendation: Add one more luggage rack to the room, as two beds implies two travelers...two suitcases. Also...love the new chairs on the deck, but what happened to the small table...no place for our wine bottle & snacks!

    The location at the waters edge was excellent (helped that the weather was great!). The room was intelligently appointed, comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay very much.

    Just be aware there's the Keurig (with coffee) and fridge, so if folks bring their own provisions (or arrive in daytime when shops are open) they will be fine. Also, we're on a working vacation, appreciated the excellent wifi, but worked a bit awkwardly on bed and sitting on the (adorable) swings and (super comfy) Adirondack chairs. It's def a vacation haven and not as easy to manage a work/leisure combo.

    Room was so comfortable, stylish, and clean! Location was gorgeous! but more remote than we had realized, and we booked last minute, so we weren't prepared with food, milk for coffee or toothpaste, upon arrival after local grocery had closed. But with a 15-20 minute drive in the morning we found everything needed at the local food mart and wonderful cafe!

    The window curtains were not up to par -- need darker curtains that cover whole window for privacy, etc. Also, the lack of electrical outlets bedside was a problem for charging devices.

    Can't think of anything.

    Despite a storm approaching we absolutely loved our stay. The location and surrounding towns are beautiful. The ease of no contact check in was ideal. Parking right outside. The view was beautiful. Coffee maker in the room. Comfy bed. Good shower. Balcony. Chocolate on the pillow. Nicely decorated. When there was a last minute 'planned power outage to prepare for the storm' the owners brought us over some battery candles which were really useful.

    Motel does not have air conditioning, a bit pricey for being in an isolated area.

    Motel is a bit pricey for being in an isolated area, not many places to eat, or things to do. Could use a microwave. There is no air conditioning although leaving the windows and patio door open gives a nice breeze, but a ceiling fan would be beneficial. Could use a chair by the desk and a full length mirror. We stayed in room#8 Boho, wicker chairs although stylish were not comfortable, a small couch or settee would have been more comfortable.

    Location is a bit isolated on the eastern shore. Rooms are nicely decorated and very clean.

    After a long day driving, we pulled up to the motel and the exterior was modern and up to date, very inviting. Upon entering the room, it was spacious, with modern facilities, warm colour tones, and a gorgeous view of the water. We were wishing that we were staying for more than one night. We will be back when we are in the area.
