    The location is perfect. Walking distance to shopping center, restaurants, bars and cafes. The room was clean, and even the next day, when we went out for breakfast and returned, the cleaning fairies had been and gone, the bed was made, bathroom cleaned, fresh towels and although this is standard at motels, all the stuff we had left on the bed (not expecting the cleaners to have visited while we were gone so early) was just where we left them.

    The price and location for what I like in a room were fantastic. On arrival, such a lovely & helpful welcome. My room was tidied each day (which I have found doesn't happen a lot these days in my travels). For a studio room, it was really big! Utilised the lovely spa bath a couple of times. For a motel on the main drag, the way my room was positioned meant noise was not a problem. Plenty of safe parking. Handy for a walk on the beach, dairies and food places close-by. I really loved it and would stay again.
