Great location, never been in the bar to get service and rooms are a bit small and outdated especially for the rate charged.
Great bar and staff. New pool table and a few slot machines. Nice quiet rooms and just a minute away from the marina. If you're planning on booking a fishing trip call Byron. Hakuna Matata charters is the best
Everything you need right there. Cold beer, pizza, bait and tackle, nice soft beds, even a few slot machines. Plus Byron is the best fishing guide in the bay!!! I'll be back next year!
Bar and tackle shop, and motel! Cool concept before heading out for fishing.
We stayed at this little motel, it was nothing fancy but had beds and shower and the bar is located in front of rooms. It clean and comfortable. Bar tender was awesome.
We didn’t stay here, but the bar was very clean with lots of interesting things to look at and giggle about. Got to visit with Byron & catch up a little. Check it out!
