Very tired motel, doesn't match to photos on the tin. Shower had very low water pressure. Not the best. That said, was a last minute booking to deal with weather travel disruptions so glad to find somewhere to stay.

It was hard to park as space very tight. We wanted to swim but a greasy film covered the water. You could hear the people above us talk and noisy when they walked. Not very noise proof. However room was clean and sufficient

Property is a bit tired, but was clean and had a comfy bed. The water pressure in the shower was terrible and parking was tight. If someone parked in the wrong place or out a bit too far you couldn't get past.
