"This is probably the best motel I've ever stayed in! I had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the beautiful garden. Great kitchenette with it's own sink (ehu3ch is unusual in my experience) and everything necessary for a short stay, including a bottle opener/corkscrew. Great shower and fresh towels each day. There's a chippy and pizza shop round the corner and it's just a short walk into town to beaches, restaurants and shops. Easy parking and a laundry room for us travellers.
