This is probably the worst Motel which I have stayed at. The room was clean, but very unkept and old. The pool was mossy on the edges and very uninviting. The only thing going for it was the bed was comfy.

We enjoyed the quiet, clean room. The staff were extra helpful and the location is excellent, on one side it’s a short walk to the esplanade, on the other side a scenic short stroll to The Wharf.

Would not recommend

Checked in late. Had to use back Entrance. Which Had no signage. Next to a loud busy hostel. Had a tv in the room with no channels. It’s almost like they forgot to pay the paid tv. And it didn’t even have your standard channels. Not worth $120 for the night. Would not recommend

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Woke up to loud industrial noise at 7am. Fixing something in the adjoining wall, called management and was told ' sorry theyll be done soon'. Come back at 11am and theyre still going. Very cold rooms, insufficient blankets. Shower curtain is a joke. Water goes all over the floor and is a health and safety issue no bath mat. Walls are paper thin so you know exactly what your neighbours are up to if you get what i mean. Definitely wont be staying and wont be recommending this to anyone ever wish the refund policy was different, Definitely wouldve preferred to stay else where for our second night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Everything is run down, very minimal in every aspect. Noisy location, terrible access from the road, gate shut at 8pm each night. We needed to phone reception mid afternoon Sunday to get checked in & our details were written on a scrap of paper, excess noise from neighbours partying both nights, rooms have no soundproofing, we were woken many times during the night by the man next door snoring. Curtain rail falling off wall, accumulation of pest droppings in window. No water pressure in the shower, old worn blankets, no cutlery with tea & coffee.

Good location. No shampoo or other bathroom products bar a small block of soap. Large gap under the front door allowing bugs in. Light outside the room was on all night and couldn’t be switched off. Bed was uncomfortable and I could feel the inner springs. Curtain was old allowing light in. Fridge made noise all night.

Good budget accommodation

We booked very last minute and accommodation was scarce. Room was clean, functional and comfortable and better than I expected for the price. My only comment would be that the shower curtain could have been replaced, was clearly pretty old. Great value for budget accommodation.
