    Nice small older hotel/motel style building with two floors and external stairs. We stayed in the King view suite and it was very nice. Full kitchen, living room with a fireplace, and a comfy king bed in the bedroom. The view is of the channel.

    The motel was as I expected a motel to be, but a little closer to downtown than I'd expected. I did make sure to leave nothing in my car overnight. The front desk was friendly and helpful, and I think the value for the money was fine.

    This was my third stay at Harbour Lights for medical reasons. The room we were in appeared to be recently renovated and everything we needed for a comfortable and affordable stay was provided. The staff was excellent as well. Thank You Harbour Lights Motel. We will be staying again for medical reasons.
