The bed was comfortable, room clean and area was quiet. Added bonus of complimentary cereals, tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. Only thing needed was block out curtains as a lot of light did come through the blinds. Overall a good motel for an affordable price.

Location is really the only thing going for this Motel. It’s old and tired. Room 21 needed towels over the window to stop the light from the stairs keeping us awake. Blinds didn’t close properly. We had 1 coffee cup. The bathroom was from the 70’s. As was my bed I think. For the price you pay I’d expect more. Definitely not worth the price tag. Staff were great though and it was close to the function we were attending.

Beggars can't be choosers. It is old, but it is clean and its the only motel in Thiroul. We were allocated the room closest to the road but we probably took the last available unit. We would definitely stay there again.

Terrific place to stay for a fun weekend away. The property is clean, comfortable, quiet, and super close to loads of cafes, restaurants and Anita's Theatre. I'll definitely be back. :)

Liked: Amenities
Decent price and 5 minute walk to Anitas Theatre for show over the long weekend. Plenty of parking and check-in is via a SMS message to unlock the door. Had basic toiletries, towels,decent fridge and microwave. TV is a bit of a nightmare to operate and wifi is below average. Was pretty quiet once the restaurant customers next door at Andies left. Good price for what you get. Local hotel is next to Anitas and has plenty food to choose and the kitchen stays open until 4pm for lunch on the weekend. We went to go back there after the show but wanted a $20cover charge.For a pub! Visit the Tequila Bar on the walk back to the motel.

Clean and comfortable room. While the bathroom was clean and the shower was good it could do with an upgrade. At least replace the missing shelf above the basin. And a small bin in the kitchen area woul be good too.

Loved the proximity to beach and restaurants etc but the shower dripped continuously ( plumbing issue) and you can hear everything going on in your neighbours rooms. Cigarette butts all over the ground outside
