Good location

Great location as it is only a minutes walk to the beach. Room was clean and comfortable but rather dark. There was noise from the road. However for the price I would recommend it. Parking outside the room.

Check in wasn’t great . Last minute.co booking stated payment at the motel but website took payment prior without my knowledge leading to confusion at check in. Booked for 2 adults , 3 kids but room only set up for 4. Receptionist confused and it was starting to sound like our problem. In the end we were offered a seperate room or additional bedding which we opted for . Room very clean and tidy, beds comfortable and good water pressure, room service staff very friendly . Outside deck garden off room really overgrown, with a full ashtray just by the door so was a bit disappointing as the front side of the property was really clean .
