We stayed for 5 nights and the room was not cleaned once. We had to keep asking for towels and toilet paper being given one roll of paper each time. Room is very small and does not breathe. location is good can walk to Twin Towns clubs etc.

I was surprised at how quiet the room was. The kitchenette was a bonus, and the microwave meant I could return at the end of each day and quickly heat a meal. The kitchen cupboard had everything for cleaning afterwards. Everything was clean, and the bed was comfortable. My only problem was the air-conditioning unit was noisy. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again. Cheers Bev

Wonderful service in my time of need
I booked online at 10pm due to an unforseen change of plan. I should've called but didn't read the bit about calling ahead if check-in time is after 7pm and was just eager to get there and settle in. When I arrived I was told hotels.com had stuffed up and there weren't any rooms available. Luckily a guest had checked out during the evening and they COULD offer me a room, albeit without it being cleaned - just fresh sheets and towels. As this was easier than trying to find somewhere else at 11pm, I agreed. Besides, I was unable to cancel the booking on hotels.com. I was so grateful for the night manager and owner helping me out. The bed was comfortable, the water hot, the fridge cold, the unit spacious enough for me. The Wi-Fi was very poor, the neighbours a bit noisy, and the TV was just free-to-air channels. I didn't drive anywhere as it's walking distance to everything I needed - Bowls Club, cafe's, restaurants, shopping centre->where I received a great massage and reflexology treatment at Qing Fu TCM. Great little place for my 3 night stay, however the room never did get cleaned... :-D
5 minute walk to Baked@Ancora for delicious food and coffee!

Comfortable economic overnight stay with friendly
I needed an overnight stay to continue my journey to Queensland. It was comfortable And the staff were friendly. It was across the road from the bowling club so it ticked the boxes for an economic stay.

Dirty and uncomfortable Need a holiday after staying there Rude staff telling us they would only service our motel room which only had 2 towels once during our four night stay. We had to call them after the third night to say we hadn’t had a service and no clean towels. Only good thing is it’s a great location for the Bowls Club

Great few days watching the Australian Indoor Bowls Championships at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club, which is directly over the road from the Blue Pelican. And also with waterfront seafood eateries within a few hundred metres stroll.
