Price hiked for peak season. Cobwebs in all corners. Pics are misleading. Property dilapidated, rooms require update. No lightbulbs in lamps. New and noisy AC. Pool area is a junk yard and unusable. Many long termers. Indian, Italian and F&C’s across the road. Staff friendly enough. Read reviews before booking.

Staff were lovely. I had clean linen.
Parking was very difficult in a Ute hardly any room, Pool was green and not able to be used. My door only had push lock as the other lock was broken, tv remote had no back so batteries kept falling out, fan was dirty and blade was falling out and was just Tec screwed in place.
Probably wouldn’t stay again as I had lots of trouble getting in and out but as for the staff they were wonderful.

You Get What You Pay For
The price was cheap especially where it was located.
Stayed three nights $240.
Staff were courteous and polite, willing to do whatever to look after you.
The bed was real comfortable with fresh clean linen.
There was Coffee, Tea and Chocolate provided as per normal.
Doesn’t look real flash BUT at that price HEY
you have to say it was value for money.
Take it for what it is and have a clean comfortable good nights rest.

The motel is very old and run down. The bedside lights were broken, the electric plug for the jug was also broken, the room smelt of stale cigarette smoke and parking wasn't easy.
Balancing all that, the price is fantastic, the room was large and spacious, the bathroom was good and the location terrific. As a single male, none of the first paragraph really bothered me, except the stale smell but even that wasn't too bad. Minimal traffic noise once the windows were shut, the oil heater worked a treat, and the double bed was very comfortable. The owner provided me with an excellent bedside lamp so that was great.

I drove past this hotel multiple times at night unable to find it in the dark as it is completely unlit an set back in the shadows. The power in the room mostly came from a single extension cord. But besides this the room was acceptable for the price and the staff were polite and welcoming.

OK for short stay
OK, inadequate parking; everything worked. The room I had was unrenovated, but provided all I needed. some traffic noise; staff pleasant and willing to assist. I'd go back for a short stay again.

Hotel is close to the beach & entertainment
Large clean room with toilet and shower but holes were noticed in the curtains, furniture was old, no coathangers, no milk for tea or coffee or bowls for cereal. It is very basic. My partner woke up before me and showered and when I got out of bed my feet were in a puddle of water!!! It is obvious how the shower water leaks through the wall and has been for a while because of a line of mould between floor and wall - we wern't charged a budget rate and all this left us extremely disappointed. Because of this room's condition I would be hesitant to recommend this motel to anyone. There is another one block away!!

Close to the beach but in need of an upgrade.
Good position to walk to the beach. On a very busy street and also very noisy. Bathroom needs an upgrade and the place is very dated.

Close to surf beach.
No room service or fresh towels during 3 days. Owner /staff were friendly. Not really for holiday accommodation

Best value offering on a last-minute booking.
The stay was quite average. The room décor was quite old -in need of renovation. No problems encountered.
