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Was not very clean ,the duvet and pillow slips that matched was very outdated and not changed.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

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.
