This motor inn is ridiculously over priced. We had a view of a brick wall and someones parked caravan. The fridge was tiny and there wasn't enough cutlery for all guests. Only 1 pillow each and the airconditioners need a good service. The shower head is way too low and tthe shower caddy hung out over the shower. It needs a lot of maintenance and a good paint job. While it is in a lovely location, the room and facilities were horrendously over priced. I was expecting something much nicer for what we paid. Very disappointed!

Very nice stay
It was in a great location! We could walk right down to the beach, and could see the beach from our hotel room windows. The room was cute, very coastal vibes. The carpet was nice and plush to walk on, and the AC worked well. But there are improvements needed to get it 5 stars. There was a heated towel bar, but the cord to plug it in was not long enough to reach the other side of the bathroom, so was useless. Should’ve been put where the plug was, bad design. The chain lock has nowhere to go to, so we couldn’t secure the door at night. You had to take the trash out when leaving, which I’m not sure why the cleaning staff couldn’t do that when they come a few hours later? Also, when on vacation you shouldn’t have to wash dishes, especially when they didn’t even provide any dish soap. Overall, it was a nice stay in a great location for 1 night, but it was expensive and with that price, shouldn’t have to take out trash or do dishes.
