Older building but very well maintained. Excellent location. 10 minute walk to the beach, restaurants, market and liquor stores. Free covered parking and ample unrestricted street parking. Large room with strong wifi. If someone wants a clean functional beach motel close to everything but not is the center of the action with a low rate, this is your spot. Highly recommended.

An old hotel. No elevator! I had to haul my two heavy pieces of luggage up and down the stairs. Rooms were decent but the bed was an uncomfortable mattress and very cold in winter. The old building also didn’t seem secure. Anyone could walk off street and access balcony doors.

We had to find a last minute hotel for one night, at first look I didn't like it, but once we were inside the apartment it was great. Super clean and comfortable. You can hear the upstairs occupants walking around very easily but that doesn't bother me so it wasn't an issue. I could have stayed here for a week without any problem.

Very impressed on arrival for a ‘regular’ looking Aussie motel. 2 bedroom apartment was lovely and modern. Come evening time and unfortunately the place was infested with German cockroaches. The walls, floor, cupboards were covered with roaches. My bosses suitcase (which was unfortunately left on the floor) had tens of them scatter when he grabbed clothes. When I contacted the property about the infestation (as we’d checked out early to catch a flight) I heard crickets. Complete silence. Which wa disappointing, and speaks volumes unfortunately.

Wasn’t aware reception closed early, our key was left out but no information around location of room. Turns out there was two rooms with the same number, and naturally we went to the wrong one first. When we did find our room the air conditioner was not on and room was about 35! Not very comfortable when getting in late at night.

Good for a 3 star motel. Lacked simple things like hand towels and a bath mat (only came with bath towels) and clearly someone had been smoking in the room before me (slight smokey smell and a shower cap over the smoke detector). The lady in reception was very friendly and helpful and went out of her way to find a park for my car and trailer.

It was perfect for my aim. The receptionist welcomed with lovely smile. The location was very convenient for dining and shopping. The main reason was to have a good rest between flights from Goldcoast AirPort and it was perfect. It is not 5 star hotel but it was a comfortable size of clean room with bathroom, verandah and carpark. I will definitely comeback for that price.
