    I have stayed at this motel several times in the past. It has been thru an extensive upgrade from old and tired to modern and fresh. The location is great for walking to the strand or hoping across to the Mount. The dinner menu was very affordable and tasty, however the Breakfast prices are surprisingly expensive. Breakfast was dearer than dinner, not sure how they chose that price.
