Pearly Shell Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Don’t judge a book by its cover. It may look a little old and run down on the outside but when you open the door, it’s a freshly renovated property with everything thought out to make our stay as comfortable as can be. From free water bottles to games and a great size tv. Comfortable bed and furniture. Staff were very accommodating when we were going to be a little late for our arrival. If I had to find a negative it’s the noise from traffic - but it was mostly rev heads that caused that issue. Thankyou for making our quick stop over comfortable and I can’t wait to see what you do with the rest of the renovations."
