Fantastic
Very close to the Boardwalk and park and the free bus their cafe was within 50mts our room was on the first floor so it was great that they had a lift, good size room with table and chairs facing the balcony, the beds were comfy, great shower, the kitchen was a bit small and the heater was very loud, we would stay again

Solo stay

Room with lovely view of the harbour. Very comfortable. Bed was great. But missing a few things. No toaster. Probably as there is a cafe on site. But some of us like to make our own. No crockery, except for 2 coffee mugs. I found this odd seeing as it has a microwave. So had to use my own plates etc. Disposable cutlery. Once again used my own. Few little extra touches would have given a five star rating. I guess I expected more considering the nightly cost. Highly recommended to guests that are happy to eat out.

Terrible experience First of all this motel is joaned with a resturant and that resturant's guests were very noisy till morning and nobody was there to warn them or do something, also walls and windows were not sound proof and till morning we could hear all noises from other rooms and surrounding streets. Secondly this building is very old and needs a real renovation. You cannot just make money, you need to spend some of that money for renovating the building to bring tourists from Australia and the world. For these resones I ask Expedia never recommend it to people and I am asking travelers to avid this motel. Thanks

Great location and renovations since staying a few years ago are great. Close to cafes and restaurants and the view over the harbour is perfect for watching the sunrise.

Amazing shower - like standing under a hot waterfall after months of rain! Great beds & absolutely incredible view. Only small bug bear was the WiFi - we weren't able to stream a program, it just kept freezing or spinning. Not a biggie, we ended up hot spotting from our phones. Overall would highly recommend, great location, lovely staff & a really enjoyable visit.
