Cool!
Amazing price. I will be back. I didn’t realize there was no reception deck after 8pm! But they left me a key! So smart. I love them and the whole cute town.

Very friendly staff. Close to cafes, restaurants & waterfront (within walking distance). Room clean and tidy, a bit dated, but served it purpose. Beds were comfortable and good water pressure in shower - unfortunately jets weren't working in the hot tub. Overall a good stay.

An older motel with poor soundproofing. Our unit was just by the laundry where they were drying washing to the wee hours of the morning. No milk supplied, dishes were wet on the shelf.
Shower wasn't to bad. Bed okay.

Would never come here again, got charged 200 extra for deposit that they said would be given back to me in morning after room was cleaned. The lady tried saying we’re not getting the money back because we had a couple visitors for 20 minutes while we got changed before we went out together
