We loved the Squid's Ink. We stayed in the new section and it was wonderful. The room was small but suited us perfectly. The bathroom was fantastic, the bed comfortable and the room relatively quiet considering we were on the highway. We took our stand up paddle board and went paddle boarding from the back of the motel. It's also an easy walk into Belmont for coffee and dinner.

Lovely location and view by the water. Neat and clean. Beds were a little too hard, wirey and bouncy for comfortable sleep.
