Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

8/10 Good
"There was good communication and instructions to access the room. The place is priced to match the facilities. The heating is fine but its not instant like a heat pump. Shower is small, with a substantial step up into it & has a curtain. However there was plenty hot water but the rose is low for taller people."
