While it might not be the newest place in Port the rooms are comfortable, clean well appointed and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Finally, it’s within very easy walking distance to shops, cafes and restaurants.

This is a dated motel. The room was clean but quite basic. Parking was full, so the lady at check in went to move her vehicle so we had a spot to park.
It is a good location, you can walk to the water/beach and many restaurants.
My children enjoyed the pool but it was small and basic as well. I feel like it was a bit overpriced for what it was. I guess paying for location.
