If you're traveling with children who need space to run, this gray-shingle motel on 5 acres is a dependable though modest option. The rooms face a broad green lawn that slopes down to the bay; it's a great place to launch your canoe or kayak. The rooms are decidedly basic, with standard motel furnishings that are being continually updated and refreshed. All have refrigerators and coffeemakers, and some have microwaves; others have kitchenettes. The spacious one-bedroom apartment has a private terrace, but its half-basement location makes the interior rather dark. The motel is in a quiet residential neighborhood. Pros: Beautiful grounds with water views, access to water, good bet for families. Cons: Lots of families often means not so quiet.
