Very Good

Grim. Reminded me of a dodgy US Horror motel. Light switches hidden behind cupboards, handles missing, mould in the bathroom, outdoor furniture in the room oh, and the smoke detectors have been removed from the room!
The rooms are dated but for the price over Christmas was great. The room is clean and the bed sheets lovely and crisp. Loved the park area and seat on the hill next to the hotel for a quite time overlooking the bay.
She ain’t flash by any means. But the service was fantastic. The room was clean. The pillows and bed comfy. For the price it was great. Head down the stairs towards the waterfront. 8 mins walk to marina!

Staff was available and we could park our car after check out for 1,5h more. That was great.
However we found a big cockroach in the room and later on many smaller ones. although we have reported it we did not get another room or any compensation.after our stay we had to check our bags to make sure we did not take any cockroach with us. Altogether our stay was disappointing
Close to shopping and foreshore. Reasonably clean and appointed

It is a basic motel, but has everything you need for a short stay: a nice hostess at the reception, clean room with microwave, tea/coffee facilities, cutlery and fridge. It was nice to have keyless entry to the room, so not to carry keys around. It is a quite location, but motel is on the hill. It is about 5-7 minutes walk downhill to the marina and beach.
