The room was spacious and they were incredibly dog friendly!"

Cromwell Harbor Motel

"The staff was supper friendly and nice. The room was clean. The bed was old and worn out but the sheets were comfortable. The property was at the very end of the main street so it wasn't really walkable for us but it was much quieter then closer in. Parking at the property was a plus!"
