The location was good, just over the road from the beach. The manager was very helpful. The bed was very comfortable The patio was nice and the parking was good.

There was a strong smell of carbolic cleaner, which made the room smell like a public loo. Also I did not like the shower, like a wet room with a plastic curtain

I really appreciated the flexibility in check out, which allowed me to do the early morning Albatross Encounter without rushing afterwards

"Disappointing"

5.0

The room had the necessities required and was clean except for the bathroom floor. Free parking and proximity to restaurants etc of the area.

The photos online of the location were very deceptive, yes it was convenient but the motel accommodation was down a skinny driveway not overlooking the coastline as depicted. The grounds were untended, run down, uninviting and that combined with the contactless reception made us wonder if we were actually at a motel. The room was clean but had a stale smell and the bathroom floor needed a thorough scrub.
