On the same property as an Irish pub so lunch and dinner's if one is open to restaurant dining is extremely easy to get to full stop there is a private car park underneath the motel rooms. The car park is admittedly difficult to get in and out of however having secured parking complementary to the hotel was amazing. The brooms were as you would expect on the price for sub everything was clean but there are no frills or luxuries in the rooms. Felt comfortable and with the security level provided. Overall very happy with our stay full stop the low location alone makes it worth the price.

Rosemary

Pros: The woman at check in was very friendly and accommodating. Good location, close to tram stop. Cons: No wifi access in the room and very weak at the lobby (despite advertising wifi capabilities), AC is noisy and also not able to cool the room down much, stained bath towel, and toilet water pressure is too low to even flush TP away. No staff showed up to open the office on our checkout day so we couldn’t store luggage (which we needed and became a huge hassle) and they left no where to drop the key or any instructions for checking out when they’re closed. Several other guests were also walking all over the property trying to figure out what to do. This inconvenience really ruined the stay for us.

Proper friendly hotel

Booked as it was cheap for an advanced booking, thought would be an OK place to sleep. Room a bit worn sort of rustic but great bed, nice bathroom working AC and fan lovely little pool Best of all a proper pub, good food and the staff really make it. Pub closes at 10pm so not that noisy given its main road location. Garage car parking included

Convenient to tram and beach. Rooms are close to the pub. We did not mind the associated noise, but it might be a factor for some people. We would stay there again.
