Good amount of restaurants in walking distance. Car park small for large vehicles. Difficult to park. You can hear people in the next room as if they are in your room. Noisy neighbourhood.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It was not what I expected I feel the room was run down and out dated. The bed was very uncomfortable for me
We were greeted by friendly and accommodating staff. The beds were comfortable. The hand basin was a little difficult to use given its shape and location. Rooms could use a refresh as the curtains and sliding doors were difficult to open and close.
Reception was hard to find as it is at the rear of the building and upon entry the restaurant staff seemed to be the only ones working. After a wait we were checked in with very basic verbal communication on where to find allocated room.
Parking is not dedicated and we were lucky to find a spot at the very rear of property The rooms are not clearly marked directional wise and we had to do a few walks around to find our door.
The room itself was roomy and relatively clean.
We were unable to open the door that led to the outdoor pool garden area at all and it appeared to have been broken for quite a while. The pool area looked like it needed a bit of attention and was not very inviting.
The restaurant menu seemed to be very nice however we did not eat there that night. Easy walk to other dining options.
Comfortable, roomy, central to eating & shops, lovely waterfront for walking, free guest laundry was handy, quiet, friendly reception, good room servicing, very pleased with the accommodation.
The pictures they have of the rooms, pool & facilities on their website make this motel look good but in reality it’s nothing like that. The walls in the bathroom were disgusting, which I wiped down with disinfectant and towel. There was holes in the wall from where a smoke alarm may have been, the floors felt dirty, the pool area was over grown and the pool looked half empty. The whole place looked old, weathered and run down. I wouldn’t recommend staying at this place.
The property is in a good location although there was construction on both sides when I stayed. The room was visibly dirty on arrival. The rooms were noisy with a lot of carry through from adjoining rooms. The restaurant was nice but expensive for the size of the meals. Plenty of better options within walking distance.
