Liked: Staff & service
For what we wanted, ie, cheap, convenient, one night it was ok. Very tired, damaged and basic room but the shower worked, extras such as tea and coffee provided and comfortable beds. Noisy trolley with bottles late at night could be dealt with. I think the pool was clean but not at all inviting. Terrible curtains. We had to rig up some towels to keep the light out for sleeping. Would not stay again, bad ambience.

I found the Motel, very outdated.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.

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.

The room was good but the fuse blew and couldn't be fixed so I was moved to another room. The wiring in that room was wrong so that the fan didn't work, so I was moved to another room. That room was good. They refunded one day of the fee to cover the inconvenience. Overall a good place to stay, although I had some issues.

Reception was closed for lunch without a time when they would return (which was 2pm), then a further wait for her to check the room. Drinking glasses were dirty (lipstick marks), the wifi password was not given and when asked, I was told that the sign was "definitely in the room" - which it wasnt. Police banged on our door at 11pm to ask about a disturbance downstairs.
