Great Location
This property was in a great location, with close proximity to the beach, but also walking distance to town for dinner.
The room was comfortable for our family, and perfect for our short stay.

Time Out
It was Great that we received a free upgrade to have a room with a view of the Bay and the Big Wheel. The Bed was comfortable and Clean but the motel room needs to abit off attention to freshen it up as well as some maintenance. But we would stay there again for price and location.

No service on arrival. Property needs a lot of work. Very outdated and looks shabby. On the positive side it was somewhere close to everything to spend one night.

The room was clean and tidy. It was located in a central area and close to other facilities. We were only there for one night so did not have a chance to interact with staff other than check in and check out.
