South Shore Motel was ideal for us for a night stopover on our road trip. Our room was obviously refurbished recently and was smart and spotless. The remote check in would have been smooth if we had been given the correct door code, but this was corrected when I rang them.

I almost don't want to give it a rating because I lived how quiet it was, but it's lovely. It's been lovingly renovated and a short walk to everything. I've already booked another booking!
