More than a motel!

Great little stay for our family over 2 nights. Motel has had a lovely renovation in the rooms, but it’s the pool and pool area that really exceeded our expectations. Beautifully decorated area and pool nice and warm. Loved the poolside bar with happy hour. Motel is super close to town. About 2-3 mins walk to most things you need. Great little beach for young kids about 10-15 min walk (or 3 min drive). Would highly recommend yo anyone
