    The window shutters allowed floodlights from adjacent buildings to leak into the room. The owner was nice and moved me to another room with less light. The coffee in the room did not taste good.

    No pets policy. Clean floor without a carpet. Comfortable bed.

    The airco unit may be outdated and noisy but does a good job of cooling the room fast.

    I liked the ladies of the roomservice, how they cleaned the room daily. The lighting that was chosen next to the beds gave a warm atmosphere in the room.

    This motel was a great find. Because the price was so reasonable, I had expected less. To my surprise, my room was quiet, impeccably clean, the bed was comfortable, I had extra towels, and the staff was so accommodating. I will be back for sure!

    I didn’t like that I found a hotel close by that had a hot tub and pool for $67 a night and I was charged $91 with $15 added on because I wanted a balcony. If I would have seen the other hotel for $67 I definitely would have stayed there because the price was better and there was a hot tub.

    I liked the balcony and the bed was very comfortable.

    The shower was quite dark. Staff was not present in the morning, so the promised coffee station was not in use.

    The room is well equipped with tv, a/c, hairdryer, fridge and safe. I had a room next to the main road which was quite loud at night.

    We couldn't figure out how to turn off the balcony light at night but it didn't bother us too much.

    Very friendly check in. Large room, great location being close to town and beach. Comfy sleep and good wifi.

    Location is good less than 10 minute walk to downtown. The room we stayed in was very clean, and had some nice touches that made it very well thought out. If or when we are in the area I would stay there again. The place even had a good bed.

    The noise in the hallway, stairs, and entry doors were loud and could be heard in the room while trying to sleep. Whenever someone entered the building, the door closing and people walking echoed fairly loudly.

    Clean hotel with good price. Coffee maker in room and good coffee in lobby. Good location.

    Shower height was low and they didn't have separate shampoo/conditioner, just a dispenser for 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner and a body wash. Wifi was occasionally spotty and had to tether to phone but mostly good.

    Pleasant location. Balcony was nice and definitely worth it for a smoker. It isn't the nicest place in town but the location is pretty excellent if you want to get around downtown and it's close to the transit central.

    The blinds - there offer basically no shade so it is light throughout the night and then as soon as the sun is up so are you. The bathroom was clean, but there was a slight sewage smell once the fan went on - I have experienced this with other hotels, I was so tired I didn’t bother to mention it to reception who I believe would have been helpful. The water pressure in the shower was very weak.

    The location is great and the price was extremely reasonable, the staff were helpful with suggesting activities in the area.
