Frommer's Review
There's a nice communal feeling to this modest motel on a suburban street a 10-minute walk from town. Backpackers, families, and travelers on a budget seem to treat it like a second home, swapping stories as they cook a meal in the communal kitchen and dining room. The rooms are light, cool, and fresh with tile floors, loads of luggage and bench space, and small patios. New double and quad rooms were added in 2004, and half the double rooms have king-size beds. The hostel rooms have private bathrooms and no more than five beds or bunks in each. A 24-bed bunkhouse has facilities for travelers with disabilities. At night the lively poolside Port O'Call Bistro is the place to be. Other features include free board games, a pay phone, Internet access, and a kiosk selling refreshments.
Facilities:
Restaurant; outdoor pool; 3 golf courses nearby; access to nearby health club; bike rental; tour desk; coin-op laundry; nonsmoking rooms
