The motel is in a nice and quiet location but easy to get to other places. We had an upstairs room and the view was brilliant. The bed was comfy and everything was adequate. Very clean and quiet well decorated. An older motel but well maintained.

Very clean, good amenities. We were looking forward to using the balcony but unfortunately it faces the wrong way and is on the cold side in the evening. We enjoyed walking around the estuary.
