Well located, quiet, adequate comfort level. I would expect a motel to have a far better equipped kitchen than simply a toaster, microwave, electric wok and sandwich press - with no pots or pans.

No microwave or cooking utensils in room was a little disappointing although they were available in a common room. Not too convenient.

Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful with extra needs for an elderly family member. Having 2 bedrooms was really great. Kitchen and laundry available. We also had a view of the ocean. Close to a really great cafe.

Close enough to the town centre to walk but far enough to be peaceful. Clean, well thought of, organized.

When we first arrived, we were a little surprised by how compact the unit was—but that quickly changed. The space is really well appointed and turned out to be the perfect size for our stay. It was super clean, comfortable, and ideal for a one-night stopover. We appreciated the convenience of direct check-in, and it was a lovely touch to be personally greeted by the manager when we arrived. Friendly people and a great location made for a very pleasant stay. Would happily return!

Rooms are spacious, clean and good looking but if you stay in winter than consider other options. The room was generally cold and the bathroom hotrail and heating fan were both out of order, considering the vent windows that couldn't be properly shut we had 8 degrees in the morning, not really what you would expect for 200$
