I only stayed one night, however I would definitely come back and hope to be back soon. The bed was exceedingly comfortable and the staff were so helpful; they went out of their way to make my visit enjoyable and easier. (There is festival on and taxis are hard to get, so their manager drove me to an appointment, personally). The location is perfect too, so close to everything you could want. Thanks guys for an amazing stay.

Very convenient and perfectly clean. Our only issue was some of the other guests were extremely noisy. Slamming doors at midnight and banging on doors as they walked past. We understand that you have no control over other’s behaviour. Apart from this one issue it was a lovely stay in a very very clean room.

This is a dated motel. The room was clean but quite basic. Parking was full, so the lady at check in went to move her vehicle so we had a spot to park. It is a good location, you can walk to the water/beach and many restaurants. My children enjoyed the pool but it was small and basic as well. I feel like it was a bit overpriced for what it was. I guess paying for location.
