The hotel is in a great location—the beachfront promenade is within walking distance, as is everything else you might need. For an additional fee, you can rent a parking space in the garage, but there are also parking spots available right outside. The hotel itself could use a bit of a makeover, but it was clean and the air conditioning worked well.

This motel is an average place to stay overall. It’s clearly old and outdated, but it’s generally clean and acceptable for a short visit. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which helps make the stay more pleasant. One of the biggest advantages is the location—it’s within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and other nearby spots. While it could use some updates, it’s a decent option if you’re looking for convenience and friendly service without expecting anything fancy.

This is a great place to stay! The staff was great. It's a great location. The whole place is very clean. The bathrooms are huge and it was very comfortable. It's very walkable and a Woolworths right across the street. Walking distance to the night market, day market and the pier for the boats to the Great Barrier Reef. The building as a whole is older and we only got 1 key. But we didn't ask for a second. The building is well kept and very clean. The room has a fridge and an electric kettle. I would highly recommend this hotel! It's a great value!
