The only problem we had during our stay was hearing the TV from the neighbouring room. Not the fault of the motel, perhaps the rooms occupant was deaf. Room was spacious and clean, the shower was powerful and the main shopping,dining area an easy walk away. All you need for an overnight stay.

Lovely small/medium hotel close to town centre. The front of house staff were friendly and welcoming and happy to provide information on local attractions and restaurants. Rooms were clean, bright and spacious with good facilities and comfortable beds. We had a balcony room with a view over the bay which was lovely. Walking into the town was mere minutes making the hotel perfectly placed.
