Great value for money especially around New Year. Room was tidy, neat and clean. Next time we will book level 3 room or level 1 apartment as our studio on level 2 don’t have a view, which looking out over the town is spectacular. We will be back next year

The motel ‘non-view’ rooms are reasonably affordable but very dated and in need of refurbishing. They’re more like cells! A fair option if you just need a place to sleep though. Staff and service are great. It’s a shame the pool isn’t open longer hours.
