Staff was available and we could park our car after check out for 1,5h more. That was great. However we found a big cockroach in the room and later on many smaller ones. although we have reported it we did not get another room or any compensation.after our stay we had to check our bags to make sure we did not take any cockroach with us. Altogether our stay was disappointing

It is a basic motel, but has everything you need for a short stay: a nice hostess at the reception, clean room with microwave, tea/coffee facilities, cutlery and fridge. It was nice to have keyless entry to the room, so not to carry keys around. It is a quite location, but motel is on the hill. It is about 5-7 minutes walk downhill to the marina and beach.

Was fine for what it was, the location was AMAZING! The bathroom could use some serious upgrading...there was rust and stuff around but all in all it was fine for a short stay. Bed was comfortable. One downside was that they were short by 2 car park spaces so if you get back late, you might not have a place to park. There is a gravel parking area behind the motel you can use, but that was pretty full too, only fit because I had a small car.

In 7 weeks of travel, it is by far the worst motel we have staid in. The reception was cold and unfriendly. The room was smelly and hot as the AC wasn’t working. There was a bug on my bed and we were scare of walking barefoot. There was a guess that started screeming in the late evening, he was slamming doors and making a racquet for an hour. The staff didn’t do anything. Again, by far the worst motel/hotel out of around 40 motels/hotels. Avoid this location!!!!!
