Great Value Motel on Beautiful Beach
Pros:

Even though the motel is old it was clean, comfortable and across the road from a beautiful beach. Value for money was great. We came on the off season mid week it was sad to see not many people staying at the Motel. Receptionist was very friendly i would not hesitate to visit again in the future.

Cons:

Nothing it really is a great place to stay.
