We have an overnight stay at this motel. It was clean, comfortable and affordable.
Our bathroom was renovated and parking outside our ground floor room.
The room was spacious and reception friendly and helpful.

Bed was uncomfortable, clean, tidy but it needs a renovation. The toilet knob you use to flush kept popping out and I had to use the shower to fill the kettle. I probably wouldn’t stay again
Perfect for when visiting family and friends, rooms are big, beds are comfortable, not modern or brand new but always clean. Some facilities like pool and tennis if you wish to spend time at the motel. Walkable to the beach.
The accommodation and the location suited our needs and there was plenty of parking out the front. We ate several meals at the restaurant and the food was most enjoyable.
Property was great for the price and shops/restaurants/ocean pool/beach were only a few minutes away. Even had a game of tennis. Beds were comfortable. Free parking.
