Very old style motel attached to a tavern/hotel. Minimal facilities, no fridge, bare basic table and chairs, one glass in a 3 person room. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot, tv worked, so it was good for a one night stay between travelling long distances.

The cleaners came into my room every day while I was away. They straightened the top sheet but not the bottom. I put my wine glass in the fridge, and it was taken.

Expected a bit better
The room was generally clean. The bathroom door was very loud and squeaky. Everyone in the whole complex could hear when someone was using the bathroom. The air conditioning unit was caked with dust and mold. The musty smell was not good and we couldn't sleep well. We left early. We hope to get a better room on the return trip.

Filthy Air-conditioner Units
The room generally was clean but the air conditioner was caked with filth and mold. You have to breath musty air all night or open up the front door to ventilate. This was a return stop over. The previous room we stayed in on the way down the coast a week before at Gateshead Tavern Motel was in the the same condition. Clean up the A/C units in the motel rooms and I would definitely consider giving a better review.
