Don’t think it’s worth the discount.

A very bare bones motel. You have to schedule any room service, fresh towels or even your trash emptied. The bed linens are not good, rough fabric. The pillows are cheap and uncomfortable. The mattress was comfortable, but I won’t stay there again.

Room was clean, value felt appropriate for the price we paid. Stayed the weekend with my partner for a cozy romantic weekend. Walked to dinner each night. Walked to new coffee shops each morning. Spent some time shopping in town. Drove to 17 mile drive just a couple minutes away. Everything was walkable. Easy parking close to our room. Only “negatives” were the breakfast is pretty mediocre. Wasn’t expecting much since we knew it was a continental breakfast, but it wasn’t even a full breakfast. Plus they kept running out of milk and pastries. Other thing was the room got fairly cold at night. There’s no way to control the temperature except by opening the window or by starting the fireplace. The first night we woke up freezing because we didn’t have the fireplace on, and there were no additional blankets in the closet. Those were our only two things we didn’t love. But honestly we’re excited to stay here again in the future!

If you’re looking for a nice clean yet basic room with a comfortable bed, this is it. Perfect location. Great view. Right on top of great restaurants, and a deli of note, Bruno’s is next door.
