Disliked: Amenities
We were happy with the basics, comfy bed, good shower, and room was clean. It just lacked a few amenities one normally expects i.e. hair dryer, iron, luggage stand. Room just needs a little updating, but it suited our needs and overall, we were satisfied.

Rooms are not what they look like in pictures. There are cosmetic things that are not nice, rust spots in bathroom. Unsure of their organization- pile of paper on the desk. Hopefully they don’t loose anything. When booking be mindful they might put a hold on your card for almost the whole amount. Didn’t realize that, staff helped with that.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property and room were very dirty and run down. The room had a wall air conditioner in the far corner of the second room so it didn’t cool off the whole place. There was clutter outside the room and outside the building. The deck chairs were so dirty we used chairs from inside the room to sit outside.

Staff was lovely and bed was very comfy. There's enough highway noise that the balcony wasn't very useable. Also, the listing says there is laundry but there is not - it's just a laundromat down the street that's mostly broken.

It was fine for what we needed, a safe place to sleep, as we were out and about every day. Excellent free parking, owners very accomodating, providing extra coffee, shampoos, toilet paper etc when we asked. I loved having the seaview balcony to sit on with my coffee Pillows were too soft for me, otherwise bed was comfortable. Just a small average fairly priced motel, would probably stay again when Im in town
