Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The motel is certainly very comfortable. Clean room, nicely warm thanks to heaters, nice balcony and comfortable beds. The little kitchen is well equipped. There is no street noise, and it is only one block back from the beach and restaurant/bakery for coffee. The manager was kind enough to let us check in at 8am after a 12 hour flight when we were bedraggled and exhausted. We would certainly consider staying again.

Room was clean and tidy and adequate for our overnight stay and price was reasonable. Staff were friendly. Location to beach and places to eat excellent. Exterior/interior fittings a bit tired and needs upgrading but just superficial and no real complaints. Thank you for our stay.

A very good option for the price. Obviously, you are not getting a 5 star hotel, but you are paying a very reasonable price for a place that is clean, spacious, cost to the beach, and with lots of dining options nearby. Staff is friendly and helpful. You will need a long cable for USB charging as this is an older style motel without power outlets near the beds/chairs.
