Shoreline Motel

8/10 Good
"The room was lovely and well equipped. Not having a lift made it hard because I have a knee injury climbing the stairs was a challenge but lucky on the first floor not higher up. On the first night the neighbours were noisy so disturbed our sleep. There wasn’t enough car spaces on site so had to park in the street. There was some yellow marks in the spa bath wasn’t sure if a rust mark or something not nice. There was two holes in the wall which was a shame as these minor things spoiled what was a lovely room. They location was great by town and the beachfront. We did like our stay and maybe consider staying there again."

We never really used the Bar & Restaurant but it looked clean. Parking was not really a problem as we were out most of the day. Location is good just a short walk into town & beach.
