The property is older, but that lends to its charm. The rooms were large and extremely clean! The area is quiet and we got a great nights sleep. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area!!
Family owned and operated with pride and super friendly staff. Our room was much larger than expected, clean, furnishings had been recently updated, and bed was very comfotable. Good value!
This small family owned motel in Onekema exceeded our expectations. Friendly staff, clean and comfy rooms, and easy access to the area around it. Sometimes these independently owned property can be a little sketchy, but not this one.
It’s not the Ritz by any means, but for the location, price, and a safe place to rest your head.
