This cute motel is a throwback. We had two rooms, one of which was apparently in the prep stage for painting (patched holes in the wall). There was nothing fancy, but the rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, and the location was great for walking to breweries and the maritime museum (highly recommend!). There is so much to do, I wish we had more time.

Staff is really friendly. Parking lay out could use some work. Our room was infested with gnats! It was a bummer. They were everywhere- the sink, bathroom, windows. Room had a weird smell to it as well.

Overall was good for our short stay in the area. Close to the bike path. Mini fridge available. There was a fan to help with white noise for highway traffic. The bed was so soft and “U-shaped” that I almost got my camping mattress pad out and slept on the floor.

So I chose pay at the property and 3 days before my stay the hotel took the full amount out of my account. When I called them and asked why they did this they said it's their policy and that third party sites will say anything to get them to book. What this did was it took all of my gas money to get from Boise to the coast. I wound up having to put everything on credit cards and pay interest on money that I would have had had they actually let me pay at the property. This is my second stay there in the exact same room. This time I realized exactly how bad the condition of the rooms actually are. When you look closely. There's an adjoining door in the room and the handle literally fell off when we walked by it. It, the window seal and all of the caulking and the bath room is terrible and warped, and the curtain rod was literally coming out of the wall. The beds were super uncomfortable. Uncomfortable. The springs in the one that I slept in were completely broken. It literally felt like a bed that you would have gotten off the side of the road or something. Staff was great and friendly and the room was clean but for $240 a night you would be better off to stay at motel 6 or somewhere else. We drove 35 minutes and stayed in Long Beach. Washington tonight for $100 less in a room that was a hundred times nicer. Unfortunately, I do not see myself coming back to this place. It's a very cute idea to take a retro motel and make it retro themed, but it's cheaply done and you can tell.
