Location was great and easy checkin. Had everything I needed for a 1 night business stay.
Comfy bed.
Unfortunately I had cigarette smoke come in under my door as the smoking areas for rooms are right outside even though they are non smoking rooms.
Heater only worked after I cleaned the filters and there was someone else's pubic hair left in the shower.

Quiet and Serene
We stayed four very peaceful nights in early September at the Dolphin Shores in Vicentia. Our host was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all the beautiful beaches, hiking trails and local restaurants. The motel is just minutes from Booderee National Park.
