We booked into this property only because it was 'pet-friendly'. Initially I was very disappointed in the unkempt appearance and the fact we had to haul our gear up outside stairs. However the apartment was reasonably large and clean.

We we're very happy with our stay and would stay again. We got to the room late from the ferry and the lights on and doors unlocked for us. All the amenities that we needed were waiting for us. The room smelled very nice as well!

Not as advertised
On arrival during office hours reception was closed . A paper was in window with message to go direct to the room. Wifi not working. Phoned reception. Was told there is never a problem with wifi, they would have a look but unlikely something could be done till next morning. Could try to walk to centre of motel. Got text half hour later that wifi was working. Spoke later to other guests who told me that wifi in back rooms was never working and that management was aware of that. Seems likely as it was loss of signal. Romm on itself ok, just as clean as you can expect in a dog friendly accommodation

Property was dated but was extremely clean. Nothing too much trouble for the staff and they were friendly and inviting. A major plus was the swimming pool which was excellent.

Let's do the time warp again ...
My wife and I stayed one night. The room decor was like an 80's time warp. The sofa was very uncomfortable to sit on and looked like it had come from a garage sale. Two light bulbs did not work and heating was minimal. The toilet ran all night long, as did the leaky tap in the kitchenette. The lighting was very dim, which made the lounge dark. The unit slept 7, even though we booked for just 2. However, the room was clean.

Comfortable Motel
Room was clean on arrival and the smell of disinfectant was evident (which was good as this meant it had been cleaned properly). Bed was quite comfortable. No road noise. Manager was very accommodating with regard to our booking.
