Very easy late check in.
Very clean
Instructions to where the room was located was also very helpful.
Booked an extra night and even though my type of room was already booked they worked their magic and i didn't have to change rooms.
Will be back again

Lovely staff but motel a little tired. Wrong choice for a holiday stay for me. Noisy in the early hours with people shouting from another room, not the motels fault so maybe unlucky. Glad to check out. Better choices near Marina for a leisure stay though this would probably be reflected in prices.
