“Departure Bay Motel strikes me as solid and unpretentious; it's clearly a practical choice, especially given its proximity to the General Hospital and its pet-friendly stance. I appreciate the reports of friendly staff and clean rooms, even if the decor is a bit dated. For travelers prioritizing location and functionality over luxury, it seems like a find.”
