Staff were lovely, its an old place but been renovated and is nice and clean. In a good spot for access to pacific fair and half hour drive to the theme parks. Carpark is small and can fill up, but you can park on the grass at the property next door. If i had one negative, the shower pressure wasnt the best 😁 Thank you for having us.

No thrills but fantastic location and price

The location is great being a block away from Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and 2 blocks to the beach. The motel is old but kept clean. Parking was limited and the stairs were slippery in the rain The kettle was too big to be filled from the sink and had to be done in the shower. The crockery and cuttlery could only be rinsed as no detergent was provided. No house keeping during our 3 day stay either. No face washers and no where to hang wet towels. Overall Average but the price and location was great

Room was badly cleaned, had remanence from previous guest such as shower scrub tags and some mystery gunk on the counter. Walls where also very thin and the window shutters to the outside don’t fully close (people could peel through if the light inside was on)

Very noisy motel. Roadworks all around until late at night. And construction across the road begins at 6am. Door had damage that looks like it was broken into numerous times. Wouldn’t leave valuables in the room. Should note there is access via stairs only. No lifts or accessibility. Parking is tight, but present.

Appreciated having lots of bowls, plates, cups and cutlery, as well as brush and tea towel to wash them. A small bottle of dishwashing liquid would have been helpful, but we managed by using a bar of soap. Parking is limited, but the same people manage Tropicana and Browns next door, and there is extra parking at the back of the Browns property.

Very strict check-in time and no blackout curtain!

Room service is only provided once while u stay for a week. Room for 3 people is very small without any chair and small bathroom as well but fortunately i was a solo traveller. There is no blackout curtain and imprecision door so beware of very very shining sunlight come into the room, my idea is covering the window with blanket. Before my arrival has emailed sent and back for early check-in and after all it seemed very strictly 2pm check-in time, it happened as well in my last year check-in, it is very hard situation when u had a overnight flight from Perth and arriving early morning and there is nothing to seat there in the very very small lobby without any seating. 1 hour late check out is $20. There is tram extended rail construction to the airport but it is now better than last year i stayed as working all night long, however sound is busy started early morning.
