Quiet, well equipped unit
Nice motel, on the main road but most units we’ll back and with double glazing and good curtains you will get a good sleep. Very nice, helpful receptionist. Full kitchen, including oven. Walk into town via the road along the waterfront is much nicer than main road, takes 30 minutes or so

staffing could do with a smile
was good except manager in restaurant - went for breakfast 0930 and closed and manager said were closed - nothing else no apology no suggestions just stern look like telling us to go - gave impression of being in business to just make money and no personality and that I guess would be my comment on property - no personality - bare essentials OK but thats it
