The room was spacious, comfortable and a wonderful view of the bay. The private outside verandah with a table and chairs was terrific. Having a microwave in the room was very useful and quite uncommon in motels. My only criticism is that you have to use stairs to access all rooms, albeit only 6 stairs to the downstair rooms.
