Very helpful staff, walkable to the beach, the room was well equipped, spacious and comfortable
Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely room nice and close to the beach and clean and comfortable
Not too far from the main area.Staff were very helpful
Room small, there's not much room to put things,The bathroom small needs shelves as well
Very nice, lots of room, everything that one needs was provided.
A little bit close to the main road
Location was great and tidy
Bed was a little hard and traffic was a little noisy with the main road outside.
Great location to the beach & shops. Nice, tidy room with great WiFi.
Location is great close to beach and central to stoke/richmond or the CBD
Bed was comfortable.Outside deck from lounge was nice.
No air conditioning,No tv in bedroom and shower very hard to control was either very hot or cold and water to vanity got warm to hot when turned to cold water.The milk curdled after one day and received another from office and that curdled as well.
Central and close to beaches and town. Had everything you needed. Loved that it had Aircon
Spa bath didn't work and we didn't try it until the last night so would have been a nice treat but everything else was prefect
Close to family able to walk. Car parking was good.
This is the worst motel we have ever stayed in.Road noise was horrendous, continuous day and night had little sleep, bed mattress provided no support it needs to be replaced. To make things worst there was an infestation of ants in the kitchen and bathroom areas. All the above not acceptable for $270 a night motel.Raised these concerns with manager but response showed contempt for us a guests.Check in time was 2pm, after waiting for 20 mins finally found someone at 2.30pm who would check us in.
Location was excellent. Being a small complex it never seemed crowded even though it had full occupancy. Studio unit had plenty of room. This is the second time we have stayed there so obvious we were well satisfied the first gime
Fantastic location. Room was very clean and nicely updated. Can walk to beach and everything we desired. Fab restaurants and pub short walk down the road. Hot Rock Gourmet Pizza was amazing service and fresh food.
Found it very expensive for what you get but it seems in line with seasonal rates. Could do with a better mattress and some double glazing to cut down traffic noise. Traffic noise is quite significant even with ear plugs. A bit of sound proofing and it would be golden.
Location close to beach
Queen bed had roll together, small fridge, toliet paper supply was poor. Lounge couches not overly comfortable
Location
Dirty towels, dirty dishes and glassware
Lovely unit with everything you need for a lovely stay.
Room was quite small with not much space for suitcases. Located on a busy main road.
separate bedroom, balcony, comfortable bed, cleanliness, laundry available. Recommend making a ground floor unit request at time of booking if steps are an issue for you.
Bare minimum crockery etc, traffic made it difficult to get onto the premises - possibly more impacted by night roadworks. Not much space for one each medium size bag for two people. More expensive than other similar units we stayed in elsewhere in the country.
Location was great, staff were really friendly and helpful, motel was VERY clean.
I'm unsure but think I recall seeing there was an oven in the unit, but it was locked and not able to be used (this needs to be made clear when booking). We couldn't cook meals as we had intended to this cost us more in purchasing food. There was no way to grill something we needed to, and no frying pan to lightly fry it instead. There was no chopping board to cut ingredients for a salad, and no sharp knife either (only a bread knife). We felt a bit too dependant on the staff for access to the laundry (was often locked), which we can tend to feel as if we are being a nuisance.
Great studio that is well equipped. Our room had a lovely outdoor courtyard area. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. The location was only a short walk to a good variety and food and drink options, and close to the beach.
The bed was not all that comfy (could feel the springs), so the mattress is in likely in need of an upgrade. The bathroom seemed to flood very easily from the shower. We had to use quite a few towels to not slip over and then was a bit unpleasant walking on a wet floor.
