An older facility, but I have never stayed in a motel, hotel or other accommodation, that has been as clean and neat. Also, just the smaller things make a difference, coffee, milk, biscuits and mints 😃 And of course all the additional items you would hope and expect to see, but don’t in some others.

It's a motel, not a resort. This motel was as good as any others I have experienced.

Hi WilliamThanks for staying with us and submitting a review. I think that you may have us confused with another property as your booking was for a King room - our accommodation is all single level so don't have any upstairs bedrooms. We do hope that you enjoyed your stay!

Rooms quite large, clean and comfortable
