A great quaint little motel. Rooms are clean and the owners were very nice and accommodating. It’s not a fancy Hilton but neither is the price. 10/10 recommend. An added perk is if you are using Sheplers to go to the island they will pick you up in front of the motel at no cost.

Great little older motel. Well maintained and very clean. Great location. Parking is quite tight ( a little tough for a big truck). Staff was wonderful. Plan on returning some day.
