Kitchenette was good. Unfortunately we had not the time to try the really beautyful Pool. The City around is quite pretty, harbour looks nice. Recommended, will come back

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Nothing stood out. The Motel needs TLC. It is outdated - warn out. Room very small. No wardrobe adequate size. Owner does his best to keep it clean. Outdoor area with chairs and table was unexpected feature - comfortable to have an afternoon drink/ coffee/ tea before dinner. The staff very pleasant and kind.
