"The room was a bit small for the two beds we had, however having a small table and chairs outside in a small alcove was a great way to have more space available. Rooms were able to be serviced each day if we needed, and the motel was quiet, with secure access and parking facility and was in a really convenient location close to shops and the marina. The only two maintenance issues we had was that the screen door leading to the outside alcove was broken and the shower door wouldn't close...
