Great Motel

This was one of the best motels we stayed at. It's very clean, nicely looked after and the check-in lady was super nice. Perfect score!
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This motel is conviniently located near the ferry terminal, and wirh a car, so many great restaurants are easily accessible. Our suite with kitchenette was very large, clean and comfortable. Above all, the 5 star rating is for the staff at this motel. They are so nice, welcoming and treat you more like familly than hotel guests.
aina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here after travelling from the interior and catching the late ferry. It was a great stopover with our two young kids. The room was clean, updated, and the whole grounds felt safe to be in. We showed up after check in hours but the reception left our key for us so we didn’t have to worry about timing. I would recommend staying here !

Beds are old and very uncomfortable. Outlets in the room don’t work. Air conditioners work slow and very warm at night as it is July.

Good motel for price. Clean and no carpet in room which is awesome for my allergies and asthma.
