Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean and tidy and adequate for our overnight stay and price was reasonable. Staff were friendly. Location to beach and places to eat excellent. Exterior/interior fittings a bit tired and needs upgrading but just superficial and no real complaints. Thank you for our stay.

A very good option for the price. Obviously, you are not getting a 5 star hotel, but you are paying a very reasonable price for a place that is clean, spacious, cost to the beach, and with lots of dining options nearby. Staff is friendly and helpful. You will need a long cable for USB charging as this is an older style motel without power outlets near the beds/chairs.
