Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
From arrival the host was amazing and while we requested a ground level room they had no idea our daughter uses a wheelchair and yet made it so easy for us to park our car. The motel is near the city but still so quiet and our NY's experience was amazing esp the fireworks display which was literally down the road. Clean facilities, great amenities and awesome for families even though there were only 3 of us. Thank you so the host and team who looked after us and made it a memorable stay ❤️

Good value for money older motel in good condition very helpful staff very close to central city
Location was excellent. Property was rather dated but had everything we needed. Staff changed our room to a ground-floor room without a problem. Recommend as a convenient stopover.

Liked: Staff & service
Very friendly staff. Close to cafes, restaurants & waterfront (within walking distance). Room clean and tidy, a bit dated, but served it purpose. Beds were comfortable and good water pressure in shower - unfortunately jets weren't working in the hot tub. Overall a good stay.
