Staff were lovely, its an old place but been renovated and is nice and clean. In a good spot for access to pacific fair and half hour drive to the theme parks. Carpark is small and can fill up, but you can park on the grass at the property next door. If i had one negative, the shower pressure wasnt the best 😁 Thank you for having us.

Although the room has been updated there is more that could be done. The lighting in the room is poor. The door locks are old and did not feel secure enough.

No thrills but fantastic location and price

The location is great being a block away from Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and 2 blocks to the beach. The motel is old but kept clean. Parking was limited and the stairs were slippery in the rain The kettle was too big to be filled from the sink and had to be done in the shower. The crockery and cuttlery could only be rinsed as no detergent was provided. No house keeping during our 3 day stay either. No face washers and no where to hang wet towels. Overall Average but the price and location was great

Room was badly cleaned, had remanence from previous guest such as shower scrub tags and some mystery gunk on the counter. Walls where also very thin and the window shutters to the outside don’t fully close (people could peel through if the light inside was on)

Very noisy motel. Roadworks all around until late at night. And construction across the road begins at 6am. Door had damage that looks like it was broken into numerous times. Wouldn’t leave valuables in the room. Should note there is access via stairs only. No lifts or accessibility. Parking is tight, but present.
