Its ok
The position of the motel was great, oposite the strand and well within reach of really nice restaurants. Including the Shorehouse restaurant, which as great.
The room its 5 out of 10 for everything. Everything half worked or was half serviceable. For the price you are well and truly there for the area.
I particularly hated that there was no insde lock, chain, or door bolt. That the sliding doir blinds would flap all night with air-conditioning directly above it and Tv position wouldnt allow comfortable viewing in any position in the room.
Like i said everything was 5 out of 10.
I would say the afterhours service when power failed in room was great 30minutes to correct was good.
