Yukio, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Excellent location, we walked just outside the door and got amazing sunrise views, cons its an older motel and the shower pressure was pretty average, overall pretty good place and very well priced.
Ben, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unimpressed

Was not very clean ,the duvet and pillow slips that matched was very outdated and not changed. Shower could do with a good clean in the grout. Under toilet rim was filthy and had obviously never had a scrub. Out of seven hotels we stayed at on our holiday it was definitely the worst one
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff, quick checkin , very quiet place.
Adriana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

On the Esplanade. Loved hearing the sea.
Daphne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Blue Seas Motel is located across the street from the ocean and offers beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. The kitchenette has a small refrigerator, stove top, microwave and tea kettle. Our only complaint is that the windows lacked any screens and the unit had no air conditioner or fans. We had to open the windows because it was very warm inside, and dozens of flying insects came into the room.
