Parked right outside the room. Didnt use laundry. Would have loved to have a toaster in the room instead of going to communal kitchen. Room was very clean and comfortable.

Stayed a few years ago and they've done it up nicely. Great bathroom reno and super comfortable bed. Ocean view from our modest room. Great base to explore the town on foot. Highly recommended and we will stay again.

Well located, quiet, adequate comfort level. I would expect a motel to have a far better equipped kitchen than simply a toaster, microwave, electric wok and sandwich press - with no pots or pans.

Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful with extra needs for an elderly family member. Having 2 bedrooms was really great. Kitchen and laundry available. We also had a view of the ocean. Close to a really great cafe.

Close enough to the town centre to walk but far enough to be peaceful. Clean, well thought of, organized.
