The female staff member that checked us in was very friendly and welcoming . She really went out of her way to help. The room was all we needed, bed was comfortable and shower good. It was great being connected to the Irish pub for good reasonably priced meals and drinks. It is close to the light rail stops and easy walk to the water. We would definitely stay here again.

A reasonable cost stay, the rooms are a little tired in some areas but clean and functional, with a comfortable bed. Our room was left unlocked a couple of times which was concerning. The attached bar and restaurant always seemed busy.. whilst we were there some local construction work added to a generally noisy neighbourhood.

Everything was lovely in terms of the service, location, clean room and nice relaxed motel. We loved the food at the restaurant it was next level. It was so close to walk to the main beach and we caught the tram for .50c outside the motel to Cavil Ave which was so easy. Highly recommend this place for a cheap comfortable stay.
