Property is dated but rooms are nice and clean the private pool in the room was great on a cool night
I really liked the motel. everything was up to state and all the rooms were spotless. my favourite part of the motel was probably the private spa outside the room. I strongly recommend this motel.
Great stay, welcoming hospitality. Nice clean and tidy rooms. Highly recomend.

Lovely hosts and super clean! Yes, it's an older motel, but it was so clean and serviced daily. Really easy to find and access from a busy road, had convenient parking outside the room, and it was surprisingly quiet considering its location! Felt really safe as a woman staying on my own and the private thermal pool was a lovely treat too. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
Unit was very comfortable, great area to stay, close to shopping arwa, and just loved the Hot Pool great for relaxation especially when one is suffering from migraines.

Clean tidy and conveniently located. Would recommend
Enjoyed our short stay here, facilities are good. Nicely situated across the road from the water however, road is very busy but didn’t bother us much. The only issue is entering or exiting the property can be tricky as it’s right on a bend in the road.
It was clean, price was lower end of scale, reflecting the age of the motel. There was nothing to complain about, staff really friendly.

The property is older and showing signs of age, but it appears there are efforts to update it.
There was quite a bit of traffic noise.
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
The pool was wonderful!
