Room had all we wanted, ,comfortable bed, spotlessly clean and great location
Basic but very clean and tidy accomodation. Good service when checking in and free on site car parking is great. Just a walk over the road to the beach, and a walk down the street to great restaurants, cafes and shops.

Clean room, sufficient facilities, helpful reception, quiet area. Unfortunately just paid for 2 nights when Interislander ferry cancelled our sailing due forecast bad weather. Managed to pull sailing forward but lost second night money. Not Motel fault. Area mixed with lot of commercial around.
