Requested later checkout and they said no problem only to be denied another night for checking out too late.. maybe just a miscommunication but either way won't stay again.. however Kawana waters hotel (the pub and restaurant) which is adjacent is amazing and I'd highly recommend for sure

This is a motel, in the most motel way possible. Room was small and carpet appeared dirty. Might be quick and convenient for a guy but not so much for a female.
