The room was fine and staff friendly enough but all the rooms facing the main road are affected by traffic noise which disturbed sleep and rest - so only book room facing the rear of the hotel.

Bed was uncomfortable, clean, tidy but it needs a renovation. The toilet knob you use to flush kept popping out and I had to use the shower to fill the kettle. I probably wouldn’t stay again

Comfortable, budget stay

We have an overnight stay at this motel. It was clean, comfortable and affordable. Our bathroom was renovated and parking outside our ground floor room. The room was spacious and reception friendly and helpful. It offers room service and has a pool and tennis court (which we didn’t use). Overall a pleasant stay.

Perfect for when visiting family and friends, rooms are big, beds are comfortable, not modern or brand new but always clean. Some facilities like pool and tennis if you wish to spend time at the motel. Walkable to the beach.
