The motel is a long way out on Beach Road so if you're not prepared to walk into town every day you will need a vehicle. There are restaurants not far away, and it's a short walk to the New World supermarket. I found the room to be very clean, the staff to be very accommodating and the kitchenette well appointed.
The motel has a lovely view of the mountains.
