Room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Provided coffee, toaster, kettle, refrigerator. Only real problem was noise from outside and the smell of smoke from people smoking outside their rooms.

We were hoping for a larger room with a balcony on an upper floor. The room on the ground floor would feel more spacious if its window is replaced py a door opening up on the common backyard! Also, we were expecting more flexibility regarding the checkout time, particularly since we arrived aroynd 5:00 pm the previous day!

We enjoyed our stay in the family suite with 5 people. Beds were soo comfy with 2 pillows each and bathroom was clean with fresh towels each day. Kids enjoyed the pool with towels available to use from the reception which was handy as our beach towels were wet. We enjoyed thos motel very much with a nice location and coffee van out the front.
