    • It has the best view of Picton Harbour from the balcony. The staff was friendly and hotel was very clean as per expectation.
    • The things that I liked best about this hotel were the incredible view, the balcony, the couch, the bed, the cleanliness, the laundry, the bottle of milk, the proximity to the ferry and train, and the hiking trail.

    Cons -

    • I had troubles with my wifi, but it may have been my phone/laptop setup, not sure.
    • I liked everything about this hotel.
    • Mattress was so soft we were unable to sleep and had back aches every morning. Parking is rediculous.

    Plenty of space and everything worked as expected.

    Mattress was so soft we were unable to sleep and had back aches every morning. Parking is rediculous.

    Position of motel enhancing views of Harbour, ferries and weather was beautiful

    8KirstenPosted on: 1-6-2026

    Location was great. Views lovely.

    Interiors and furniture a bit dated. Would have expected more updated facilities for this price range.

    10KeeleyPosted on: 11-16-2025

    Great location, fabulous view. Room had everything we could need.

    Bed and pillows not the most comfortable, but really not too bad at all.

    Very friendly greeting, large spacious apartment, and a fantastic view. Although very dated the cleanliness didn't make it feel it. Highly recommend.
