Liked: Cleanliness
It was hard to find and while the bed was comfortable it is an older motel. The curtains aren't able to keep all the lighting out of the room when the night lights are on and I need a cool dark room to sleep, so had a disturbed night. Even clean and although it had cutlery, it had no plates or bowls and 2 tiny capsules of milk for an overnight budget stay.

The property was great and staff were friendly, the only issue was that the rooms had very limited storage space, perfect if only staying a few days but we were there for almost a week and basically had to live out of our suitcases. Overall we had a great time.

Lovely motel

This motel is lovely. Although a little out of the way (we had a car so everything was easy) it’s a beautiful spot overlooking the water. The motel itself is refurbished with hints of retro (love the orange accents) Our room had everything we needed to self cater, and a short drive to some fantastic dining options!
