10/10 Exceptional

room was immaculate. Everything looked almost new staff were very friendly and helpful when this motel was built It looks like no money was spared in making the fixtures, and the overall set up a replacement place to be. Definitely not your average motel. It may be a little further out from the town centre then some but well worth walking an extra few steps.

Super easy check-in. Plenty of parking. Very well maintained room. Convenient laundry facilities. Quiet but effective air conditioning. No view from Room 8, but an area outside the ranch slider where you can sit. Generously- sized bathroom and good hot water supply. Modern TV and free Netflix. Small kitchen area and limited equipment, but with so many cafes nearby eating out is the best option. Super close to the beach.
