Spectacular views of the harbor can be enjoyed from this charming lodging situated on the canal under the Aerial Lift Bridge. Get a room facing the water with oversize windows and a fireplace. Most of the guest rooms feature balconies. Some have at-door parking. The suites are equipped with jetted-tubs, bathrobes and some come with a pair of binoculars or a telescope.
Smoke free premises. 29 units. 2 stories (no elevator), exterior corridors.
Pros: I liked that it was not by all the other noisy hotels on the strip. Best part was you could walk to EVERYTHING!
Cons: I would have liked to have faced the lake. But next time!! This wasn't your fault at all. hahahahaha

Pros: Location was great, away from the crowd. Our room was clean & comfortable. We had a suite & enjoyed the extra space.
Cons: We expected a breakfast as mentioned in all the sales pieces we saw. The lobby was tiny and the breakfast was continental with very few healthy choices. Fresh fruit was a plus, but only granola for cereal and not an egg to be found. No toaster- only bakery items.

Room was small
Price of the motel was higher than the quality of everything in the room, High price for cheap/ low grade amenities; water pressure was horrible, sink took forever to drain, not enough towels, very cheap low grade shampoo's, cheap toilet paper. Expected a better grade motel to fit the price.
