Stayed for 2 nights. As soon as i walked in to reception, i was greeted with the best customer service and at check out. By far the best stay my partner and i both had,as its not often there is an electric blanket for those cold nights which was awesome. We Stayed in the studio room with a stovetop and a good size fridge and kitchen which we were really happy about and a car park right outside the room. Would definately stay at Seahorse motel again.
