    This is definitely a budget accommodation. The location was good with parking and an easy walk into town/beach. The road noise was quite bad and even with the windows and door closed it felt as if the cars were right next to our room. I wouldn’t stay here again.

    This is a budget motel and dated. But, it is affordable, the managers are easy to deal with, it is close to town, easy to get to, roomy enough and well enough furnished. Furniture is old, but it is clean and presentable and carpet is new. Bedroom is at back of unit so quiet enough for sleeping even though the front of the unit is on the highway. I would recommend for anyone needing an affordable place for an extended stay.
