Clean, quiet and affordable. And the food at the pub next door was next level.
Pros:

We were looking for cheap, clean, and quiet overnight accommodation on our way up the coast. This motel suited our purpose exactly.

Cons:

Perhaps check in instructions could have been clearer on Booking.com

Very disappointed by the overall appearance of property
Pros:

Beds were comfortable

Cons:

Bathroom had no sink or mirror. You had to wash/shave/wash dishes by the entrance door in main area. Fridge rusty and missing freezer door. Furniture (except for the beds) was ready to go to tip. Very basic. Large gouges in plaster and no wardrobe or ironing facilities. Driveways have potholes

Pros:

Close to bakery laundromat and Hotel. Short drive to the shops good location

Cons:

No iron or coat hangers. Bathroom window needs a better lock. Not secure enough. Maybe suggest a small microwave. Needs to have the leaves etc blown away from the front of the units as we walked them in. The cleaners did a fabulous job. Spotless.
