This motel is perfectly located and close to everything. As well, right across the street from the beach and the magnificent views. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful. We were able to stash our bags with them upon checkout as our train was in the late afternoon. We were also taken to the train station as it would have been quite the walk with suitcases. They went above and beyond! I highly recommend this motel.

Lovely beachside motel

We appreciated the easy check in and the room had was lovely. It felt like it had been recently renovated so everything was clean and modern. Comfy big bed, free parking and walkable to town. As far as motels go this was a pretty good one.

Ideally situated

Stayed in unit 10 which was very clean, well equipped and large with separate bedroom at the front right opposite the beach. Ideally located in a quieter part of the Esplanade but only one minute to walk to a good restaurant (Hiku) and an excellent breakfast at Dolphin Encounter cafe.
