"The location was great, right on the water with wonderful view. The motel is old, hasn’t been updated in a long time, rustic would be a good description. The inn keeper was informative, made suggestions for dining and worthwhile attractions but not always available. No food available on the premises, closest restaurants are a 15-20 minute drive."
