Good location in Mermaid beach. Not a few minutes walk from the beach which is a minus. Pretty good accomodation and clean. Stuff in the reception were nice but didn't speak good English and couldn't help us a lot , but overall experience was good, good location, convenient parking and clean room with all the needs.

Clean, Comfortable, Great location

Our room was clean and had good amenities for a stay (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery). The pool was very clean. The service at check-in and checkout and during the stay was great. Located in a nice area with lovely beach, lots of dining options, 2 shopping centres nearby and the tram stop.

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.
