Nice views
"The motel is old but kept clean. The view from our room of the bay was quite nice. The room was large but the bathroom tiny. The water pressure from the shower was good but the faucet in the sink just dribbled. There's not a lot of restaurants nearby, but there's a nice one across the street."
