Basic facilities, but clean 👌. Lovely hot water for shower. Convenient spot to stay, and parking right infront of room.

It is far from main beaches and city centre , prices were cheap compare other places i think how much you pay how much you get , i think if you cant find accommodation around peninsula its ok for one night stay.it needs to improve specialy entry for night ,no sign .
The room was tiny, bed & 2 seat couch were uncomfortable, no bedside table. Way over priced for what you get. It was clean, very old but clean and housekeeping ladies were lovely. Total disappointment in the room.
The hotel was clean and had everything I needed. Was super quiet.

Room clean and roomy and bed comfortable. It is positioned next to the airport and near the antique centres. Room had no air conditioning and not much ventilation so had a poor sleep. It was a hot and humid day. Need to put in air conditioning and maybe a ceiling fan.
I actually really loved it there. Staff were really lovely, warm and inviting. The pool was lovely. A shame that the hot tub wasn’t working. The room was nice, clean and comfortable.
Overall our stay was good it’s old but clean some things could do with an update like the couch. And door was a bit drafty. But good for last minute accommodation and price.
Great showers, plenty of room for trucks, it’s an old motel, but it works.
Only down side is the price, for what it is you can get better for the same price or even a bit less.
It was cold and we could not work out how to turn on any heating. Would advise to being extra blankets

All i could taste the whole time was dust ...both times i have stayed at this motel you turn on the air conditioner and the room gets hotter and dusty as hell ...i had to open the front door at 3 am just to let some air in because i woke up coughing my guts out from how stuffy and dusty it was .....never again
