North Beach Motels

The motel is close to the beach. The photos aren't really representative of the place now, as it is tired and rundown. The staff are all friendly. There are no photos showing the car park. Most of the lovely photos are from the 'ocean view' rooms and that is the minority. The rooms are clean and fairly well equipped with fridge, kettle etc. The problem is that the manager has installed super bright lights around the motel that shine into most of the rooms. He said it's for security, but any modern camera could detect movement in low light. I had to have the blinds fully drawn which didn't darken the room. I was in room 15 and it had a connecting door which let all the talking and noise from room 14 in. There is a set of steel stairs which are noisy when anyone with shoes and heels walks up or down. Really annoying when that is 5.30 am. For a standard room, room 17 is probably better as it faces a wall and doesn't have lights directly blasting into it.
