Ended up having to cancel booking so can’t really say anything about the motel. Certainly they understood why I had to cancel and were courteous about it

The hotel manager was absolutely wonderful and very kind to us. We were travelling with a 19mth old and found the facilities suited us very well. Would definitely stay here again!!

We were staying in the "Villa" building, which has not only 4 rooms but the laundry for the motel as well. We had 2 rooms for our family for 2 nights, in the other 2 rooms were occupied with local fuel plant workers, I assume as a long term stayers. Well, those people were using the laundry - which is was right next to my room - , dryer until 12 am, midnight! Every door equipped with a self close arm, which make the doors slam with a loud echo. Our fellow stayers did not make any effort to make the doors quieter, and went in and out with their washing load constantly till midnight. Then we woke up 5 am! because they went to work. The diesel van waiting for them at the door, engine on of course, they having their morning chat, walk in and out, doors slam every time. Great to wake up like this when you get your sleep around 12:30 and you are actually on holiday.I had a complaint about this to the manager, she promised that she will have a word to these people and I will get discount. Thats nice, but no money will give back my sleep will it? At the second night they did effort to not to slam the doors and havent used the laundry till night, but still were awake till midnight, so again, we couldnt sleep either, and no surprise there, next morning 5 am diesel van out there, people talking, taking their staff in and out, so we woken up as well, again. Yes, I've got $50 off from the $650 bill, but do I care? If I would have been asked if I want to share with local workers? NOT!

Cons: A bigger TV, heating in the bathroom.
Location: We walked to the beach
A relaxing experience, we didn't have to brave the chilly weather to go to dinner - it was there onsite. Room was clean, tidy and warm. Bath was perfect for a relax with a wine and a good book.
