"Location is okay. It’s motel not a hotel. The rooms are okay and clean but the toilets smell. The whole place was dark and a lot of people kept coming and knocking on our door or trying to come in as no room markings are there properly. Parking was a little odd but sufficient but the location is okay but next to a public beach so a little public."
