Rating 3 stars, as although the room was spacious and the check in staff was friendly, there was no cook top included with the kitchenette suite! We specifically book motels with kitchenettes, as we travel as a family and eating out gets expensive. The staff said there was a BBQ in the common area for quests to use, but in our opinion that's not very convenient, nor super practical for cooking.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff were friendly which was the only real positive. The picture advertised was not what we experienced as we were put on a ground floor room facing the road. Peace & quiet this was not we many rowdy guests inebriated throughout the grounds. The room was basic with no air conditioning with the weather really warm so the ground floor windows needed to be left open to try and cool the room. This did not feel a secure place to stay with my wife & teenage daughter. The window in the shower room also needed to be opened to stop the smoke alarm going off which made both girls feel very uncomfortable that someone could see in whilst they were showering from the car park or road. There are better places to stay for families in the local area which we experienced and hence our 2* rating.

We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and tidy. One thing to note is the unit does not have central AC which works well if it's not a hot day. However when the temperature climbs up to 21C that humidifier was not sufficient. However they did a cooling humidifier.

Clean, spacious and friendly service. I wouldn't bother paying for an ocean view, as the property is set back looking over roof tops, but I would definitely stay again.

We had a pleasant 2-night stay in Suite 1. Comfortable bed, very clean room and bathroom. This place is walking distance to the grocery store and a great restaurant called The Black Rabbit. It is so convenient and tasty we went back the second evening. We were given a 10% discount on the food for staying here. Very close drive to town too!
