The location is perfect. The staff were very helpful. Everything was nice and clean. Room sizes are excellent but floor tiles are cracked in places which detracted from the overall appearance.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I found the Motel, very outdated. There were cracks in the hand basin in the bathroom, no soap supplied, no tissues. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, had an issue with the TV remote, could not get it to to off 1 channel, the back didn’t fit on properly. I walked over at 4.59pm to tell the receptionist, to see her duck out the door very quickly.It was resolved the next day by another lady with a different remote. Good location opposite the beach. Restaurant was great, very convenient, very busy. I’m sorry but I would not stay there again. The picture on the ad Is obviously of the newer section at the front, my room looked nothing like that.

Lucas

Liked: Staff & service

Its ok

The position of the motel was great, oposite the strand and well within reach of really nice restaurants. Including the Shorehouse restaurant, which as great. The room its 5 out of 10 for everything. Everything half worked or was half serviceable. For the price you are well and truly there for the area. I particularly hated that there was no insde lock, chain, or door bolt. That the sliding doir blinds would flap all night with air-conditioning directly above it and Tv position wouldnt allow comfortable viewing in any position in the room. Like i said everything was 5 out of 10. I would say the afterhours service when power failed in room was great 30minutes to correct was good.
