Hi there, Thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

4 out of 5
The room was spacious and the bed comfy. A small sofa in the living area was nice. I don’t like fixed head showers, rather old fashioned. Also would have liked more shelves/storage - the bedside tables were so small there wasn’t room for anything apart from the bedside lamp. The motel has a garden area with seating but is on a busy main road.

It was a very brief stay for one night, but it was perfectly fine for a quick stay. There is a bit of traffic noise and a busy road especially in peak hour, but easy to city centre and beach.
