Clean tidy rooms with plenty of space. Well located with easy drive or walk to town, beach and gardens. No problems parking our hire car. We had a ground floor room that was easy to access. Maybe check access if you have booked a room upstairs.

My husband and I enjoy this motel and have stayed here more than once. The staff are helpful and there is plenty of parking. The unit has lots of room to move which is what we think is really great. Heating is excellent and all the basics are available with a top notch micro-wave-oven combo to go with them. Close to the down-town area but also on the main route through the town Very quiet. Highly recommended.
