    Looks newly renovated . Very clean .Close to everything!

    The outside of the building needs updating. Looks very dated and really old and dirty . The sign needs to be renewed.

    In walking distance to the foreshore

    The area around it was very run down and the property did not look presentable

    This place was so perfect for a night! We drove to qld from Sydney and this was a great little pit stop. It was easy to check in, there was plenty of parking and the rooms were obviously well taken care of

    Staff were nice and friendly, room ready, clean and nicely refurbished. IGA close by

    Fire alarm at midnight and noone came, after 10 mins I called the mobile number on the door.. no answer left a voicemail.i was by chance chatting to the man in the room next door and he told me the owner away. He had the number of the girl who was managing in the absence ... She came as soon as she was notified but sadly it seems there was no process for this fire situation .. and for when the owner is away. All worked out but could have been a disaster. Because of this situation which went on for 45 mins .. had a terrible night's sleep .

    Very comfortable beds. Amenities were great for the short overnight stay that we needed it for. It was just off the highway however quiet and easy for us to sleep infact I wasn't keen to wake up at the 5am alarm

    Was happy stay. Nothing to improve for an older style hotel

    Having given my honest opinion on the outside of the motel, when we entered the room I was pleasantly surprised. The Inside was lovely. It was very clean and fresh looking, It looked like it was completely refurbished, White linen on the three beds. which were very comfy. A towel and toiletries laid out on each bed. New carpet and blinds. The Family room wasn't large but was ok for the 3 of us. We only planned to stay one night. It was quiet and the shower was a nice size considering it was on a busy road. So for us we only needed the room to sleep so we didn't require a laundry or somewhere for children to play.

    There was only a head and shoulder mirror in the bathroom. A full length mirror, perhaps attached to the back of the front door would have been helpful.We were quite surprised to see that little maintenance has been carried out on the outside of the Motel the fence panels were coming apart and some were even laying on the ground. I think if we had just driven in without a booking this would have put a lot of people off. The outside had the appearance of neglect which was a bit disappointing to the eye.

    The interior of the motel was clean and looked as though it had recently been decorated.

    The exterior of the motel looked a bit rundown but the interior was fine.

    The motel unit was newly updated and spotlessly clean. The beds were really comfortable. It was very quiet and a short walk to the waterfront and town centre.

    Great communication with staff prior to my late arrival, informing me of key location. Very clean and comfortable room. Happy to be able to make a cup of coffee in the morning :)

    Clean and comfortable roomNewly renovated Great shower

    10PeterPosted on: 4-28-2025

    You have done an absolutely excellent job of renovating this motel. It was light bright and very clean.

    Not much we didn’t like but could be improved with hand rails in shower, a hook for hand towel next to sink and to have the parking area bitumised

    9KathleenPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Comfortable bed, nicely renovated room and nicest.motel bathroom I've seen in a while. I don't sleep well but even though this motel is on the.highway I slept pretty well with earplugs.

    It's on the highway.

    Clean and nice room.

    Access a bit difficult from busy road.Parking awkward.Bit run-down looking outside.

    8SallyPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Clean and comfortable.

    Parking - can’t turn around so have to reverse out onto road. Internet was slow.

    6GeoffreyPosted on: 4-21-2025

    Very clean

    Very small room. No seating. Poor TV channels selection

    10RahulPosted on: 4-21-2025

    Clean, well stocked with appliances and other items that you’d need. Bed and living space is comfortable.

    Parking is somewhat tight when there is no or low vacancy. But that doesn’t mean anything in the bigger scheme of things.

    Great little gem - rooms are immaculate . Great communication from the management to access room late (due to traffic)
