BeccaGroup - Avg. price/night: € 240.61Scored 8.08.0Rated very goodVery Good · 2,197 reviewsQuiet, comfortable, clean and with good heating on a chilly night, but most of all a beautifully restored classic 1962 Motel 6, apparently the first ever. Lovely sea view from our room, free parking, close to some good eating places and to the zoo, and with kind and helpful reception staff. Didn't use the pool but it looked quiet and clean. Nice neighbourhood. Excellent value.AnneYoung couple
