    Our room was extremely clean, and comfortable and was outfitted with everything we needed during our stay. The kitchen was very well stocked. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend this motel.

    Everything. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Our only disappointment was that we were only staying for one night. In future, we will plan to use this as a base, it was excellent

    The room was large and it was super clean. It was right across the road from the beach!
