Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms disappoint
Although this motel advertises that its rooms have been recently updated, work doesn't appear to have been undertaken in all units. Guests still report that some of the rooms, although clean and reasonably spacious, appear dated.
negative:
Noise can be a problem
Reviews suggest that there are various sources of unwanted noise here. Guests have found the in-room air-conditioning are loud while also noting that traffic noise from the Pacific Highway was more or less constant throughout their stay.
negative:
Parking too far from rooms
Guests appreciate the convenience of complimentary on-site parking but do point out that the spaces are a little ad hoc and, therefore, you are not guaranteed to be able to park close to your allocated room. This has proved problematic for less mobile guests.
