Westport Spa Motel

8/10 Good
"Great motel, convenient location, parking is free, very clean, and very nice staff. The only reason why we gave it a four and not a five star review was the bathroom that had a shower for disabled people which is certainly a nice thing to have if there is a disabled customer. Just, the shower curtains are really high and when taking a shower, the water spreads all over the bathroom which is not very convenient for use afterwards. Also, the sink was a bit small. But everything else was really great. Even a small private patio outside to relax. Altogether, a nice motel to stay."
