I had a wonderful stay at the Sea Horse Motel! The location is perfect—just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I highly recommend this place.

Large room, comfortable bed, spotlessly clean. The only entry to upstairs rooms are uncovered metal stairs that became slippery during rain.

Overall it was good. The room was large, clean with a full kitchen. Our only negative comes with the laundry which only opens from 10-6pm, we usually wash our clothes after dinner not in the day when we want to visit the island! And when they open the laundry next morning at 10:30AM, the dryer was in out of order for weeks we were told. For us it was sad as we selected that hotel because they were suppose to have a laundry but if you do not plan to use that service the rest was perfect.

Motel was fine for the night. We had a small room which was suitable. Room was clean but behind the bedside tables and behind the fridge it was quite dusty. Otherwise for a nights stay it was great.
