I recently stayed at this motel and was genuinely impressed by the outstanding hospitality provided by the owner. From the moment I arrived, they greeted me warmly and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout my stay.
What truly stood out was their kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to help with even the smallest requests. It’s rare to find such genuine care and professionalism these days, and it made my stay not only convenient but also very pleasant.
If you're looking for a place with a personal touch and exceptional service, I highly recommend this motel. Thank you again to the owner for making my visit so memorable.

Nice clean room. The building itself is quite dated and has a lot of spiders (a huge issue for my wife).

We had a wonderful stay at Happy Salmon Motel. It was perfect for us after a long drive. The room was so comfortable and just what we needed. I can hardly wait to come back. When we asked for a good place to eat, our hostess suggested walking across the highway and down the hill. We did just that, found a great restaurant, then walked to the pier and stopped for ice cream at the corner store. 10/10

No kitchenette
The room was nice, clean and comfortable. Don’t understand why they had cupboards and fridge if it was unavailable for use.
