It was great location, very tidy and modern. The access to bicycles was nice especially as the coastal walkway was a few minutes away from the motel. nothing comes to mind

Rooms are big and spacious, furnishings are modern and fresh, bathrooms fully tiled and luxurious. The fit out is excellent with good kitchen items. A good place to stay. Not really an issue unless needed but the wi-if was a problem, standing up against the window to get signal, funny but not practical. Only other thing was a little bit of traffic noise in the morning.

I would prefer where a business person leaves the motel prior to office opening hours and the motel invoices his business card that a copy of the invoice is emailed to their email account so that it can be printed off for business claims

Brand new very well appointed motel - traditional motel from the outside, but spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with room quality on a par with many 5 star hotels. Owners were most helpful. If we could always find a hotel like this it would be ideal!! Nothing

I really enjoyed our stay and was impressed as soon as we walked into the room. I wasn't expecting the luxury and style we received. Very comfortable beds, spacious room, beautiful bathrooms, choose your own breakfast to be delivered and great details like the hot chocolate and biscuits! Would definitely stay again. Would've been great to have a spa pool, but you can't have everything in life!
