Basic Motel, Great People
This was a quick overnight with friends. We arrived later than we had stated we would and our keys were taped on the door (thank goodness). There were a few permanent residents, but they were friendly and even gave us directions to food and pharmacy. This is an older motel and it needs a facelift, but the owner, Scott, and the breakfast manager, Kelly are stars. Scott took the time during our check out to draw a route for us on the map for us and recommended a place for lunch that was just the highlight of the day. Kelly provided a lovely breakfast and was so pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed our time sitting at the big table and talking to other guests. This is not a luxury resort, but the people make it special.

I have nothing to rate them on as our reservations were moved to the Starlight Inn due to an "issue" with the room(s). The Starlight Inn room that I was in was not clean, communication was only done via text message, never actually met a person, there was no breakfast (we could go across the street to the Schooner Bay Inn if we wanted to), beds were not comfortable. The only positive thing I can say was that we did not have to sleep in the car.

Adequate for our purposes
We booked two rooms for two nights. The breakfast was decent, but...there were insects in the bathroom of one of the rooms, the blinds in one room facing the parking lot were broken, there were dirty socks under the bed in one room, one room supposedly nonsmoking reeked of smoke. It was adequate for our purposes as we were only there to sleep, but I would not recommend it to most people if they are particular.

On-going remodel
We stayed here in 2021, and it was in better shape. They were undergoing a remodel, and we had a freshly finished remodeled room. Hot breakfast was served daily. In 2023, we stayed here again, and the remodel seemed ongoing. Our room was renovated but needed to be more tidy. The floor had yet to be swept, and check-in was via an envelope on the door with breakfast only on Fri-Sun. So disappointed. We received an email in January 24 that their remodel was complete, so we gave them another opportunity. Same as 2023, only breakfast was back to daily. (Pricey for limited breakfast.) The floor was unswept, and the toilet was filthy. They did clean it after I asked. No more stays for us at Schooner Bay.

Our room was filthy. The bathroom floor had little hairs all over, the bed had hair on the sheets, and the blanket was filthy. The headboard was broken and taped together. The mattress cover was stained, Even though it says it is a no smoking room as soon as you walk in, you can smell the stench of cigarettes. The property has miscellaneous stuff all over it and it looks like a junkyard. Although they made an effort for a decent breakfast, it really wasn’t very good. if you have a choice, I would certainly choose another accommodation. The only positive thing I can say is the price was very reasonable… but not for what you got.

There were three envelopes taped to the office door with three different names on it. One was ours. Very unprofessional and dangerous. Anyone could take our key and we would have no one to contact for help. I got a call about 5 hours before we checked in asking if we could give up our room on the first floor for an elderly couple. They offered us two rooms (we had three adults) for the price of one. When we got there, there was only one key. Not a big deal but very confusing. Especially since the office was closed and there was no one to ask about this. It's a cute hotel but I wouldn't stay here again if I had the opportunity.

We enjoyed our stay and the breakfast was delicious. It was eggs, French toast, a wonderful hash brown casserole, sausage and an assortment of breads, muffins, bagels. We arrived around 9 pm pulled into the lot to the right of the office. The rooms on that side have broken windows and there were people hanging around in the parking lot. Our room was on the left side and that area seemed safer and looked more well kept. The floor in our room wasn't very clean. There was a hair tie left on the floor so I know it wasn't swept well. There were very few outlets for charging, nothing by the bed. With a little better cleaning and a few inexpensive updates this could be a 5 star stay.

No one was there to check us in. A key was tapped to the locked front door. The room we got, had an unusable toilet and a sink that wouldn’t drain! Filthy floors and bathroom. Lots of fur under the bed. We called and asked for another room. The new room we got had a mini fridge that didn’t work and a tv that didn’t work. It was only for one night so we stuck it out but literally this was the worst place I have ever stayed.

The place was very clean but old and not well maintained. The tap in the shower leaked continuously hot water but the shower worked fine. Wifi service was from spotty to non existent & the tv offering was only live channels as we were unable to get CNN, Disney, etc. The cost was cheap and everything was consistent with that.

A meh motel experience
It's a motel. Still, the room still smelled of old cigarette smoke, especially when the A/C was off. The sink and tub were stained and slow draining. The towels were thin and despite efforts to brighten it up, the room was dreary. One tip - bedside lamps would be a very uesful addition. It was clean enough. The rooms open right into the parking lot. They do have an ice machine and the breakfast was actually very nice. Wifi was fine. If you are okay with comfortless, and just stopping for a few days, it's fine.

There was trash and belongings everywhere outside in the middle of the night. The tv couldn’t play because the internet was too slow. The pillows stank like they were in a thrift store. The owner was not helpful after hours. The police ended up having to come fix situations that went wrong. It was very noisy. There were people yelling on the balcony. The people in the room above us kept us up all night moving furniture and letting their child run around at all hours of the night. Someone also got run over by another guest. The door barely closed. The door jam was damaged. The road noise is super loud. And the whole place had a weird smell. Easily the worst experience I have ever had with a hotel.
