United States of AmericaClean, no frills room. Perfect for a short stay where you will out and about most of the day.

United States of AmericaOur room at The Islander Motel last night was quiet, super clean, and had a really nice bed. It may not have everything some of the newer hip hotels have (indoor pool, exercise facility, bar, etc.) but as far as comfort, quality, and attention to detail go it’s as good or better — it just costs quite a bit less.
