Easy and fast check in! We stayed as a quick overnight after exhausted travel, and we had such a great night sleep. We stayed in a room with a queen and a single for our toddler, and even he had a great sleep. The room was very fresh and clean, with a microwave, kettle and toaster. The wonderful lady who checked us in also checked us out and she was so lovely! We booked randomly because they had availability, but we would definitely stay again and recommend!

This was budget accommodation and was adequate for sleeping and relaxing. The room was clean. Hot water took ages to arrive after turning on. The bathroom sink had a crack although did not leak. The front door lock was stiff and sometimes the door bolt would get stuck inside the faceplate - it had to be banged to get it to release.

I've stayed there several times, and the best thing is value for money and location, except for a bit of traffic noise which varies, but it is on the junction of a main road, which is a plus and a minus, I guess. Also, only a 10–12-minute walk to The Entrance shops.

Unfortunately the weather was not the best when I stayed so that I couldnt enjoy the pool which looked awesome. Staff were friendly. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best. The rooms are not soundproof so I could hear the conversation of the people in the room next to mine. Would stay again.

Check in was not a very good experience. I had to wait for awhile before someone came to reception. In limited English I was asked if I’d booked in and asked for my ID. She kept asking if I’d booked and couldn’t match my ID with the booking and gave me a paper with someone else’s name. I told her it was not me and then she gave me the one with the right name and asked if it was me. I do not think she could actually read English, but the experience wasn’t very welcoming. In the room there was the bare minimum of things provided, including one tea towel with stains on it. The couch and chairs were also stained. I sat on a very old chair at the bench and I thought the chair was going to collapse underneath me as it was so wobbly. The shower was terrible with only a trickle of water coming out and suddenly went very cold and then very hot. The only good thing was that the bed was comfortable. If you want a budget motel then I guess you get what you pay for, but at least a clean tea towel and a decent chair would be good.

It was a bit smelly in bathroom as the exhaust fan wasn't attached. It was sort of grungy but it housed 3 adults with relative ease and didn't cost the earth.

The parking situation for Unit 4 and the other two side parks is a joke. That area I got allocated for Unit 4 was disgraceful and if I had a larger car I would have been in trouble. You need to find three new parking spaces and prioritise those who are staying over the guest parking ASAP

Unfortunately on arrival we noticed ants were crawling on the yop of our fridge. Morning 1 of 2 the toilet was blocked. We notified reception staff of the problems. They came to check them out. They advised ants and toilet would be fixed whilst we were out. Staff contacted us later in the day not sure if things were fixed, so they gave us another room to move to. When back to our room , we first noticed our room door had been left open. NOT HAPPY AT ALL., then noticed ants had not been treated as there we still visible and toilet had not been fixed. We made the reception staff aware of the door having been left open, ants and the toilet not being attended to. On a positive , none of our belongings had been taken. We transferred rooms and had no further issues. Another positive was having air-conditioning and a pool and spa to be able to relax in.

The pool and spa are good. In the family room curtain was torn. The screen door was broken. The room smelt. The keetle was diry boiled water tasted yuk. The biscuits were off. The tea bags were yuk. Towels provided were worn out almost ready to have a rip, very thin and not fluffy. For $300 a night for a family these things can be improved.

We booked the property for the spa use but it was cold and hardly any pressure.
The room requires more work on the ceiling and cornices as they are cracking.
Otherwise a good located motel.

The motel was the first stop on our 18 day holiday
As such it was just a stopover before continuing our journey
It was easy to find - not far from the shopping centre for food.
Compared to the other 16 motels we were to stay in it comparable in price, standard of the room and adequate in all things necessary with the staff being very pleasant when we were leaving in the morning

The pool was very murkey, it would be very un-hygenic to swim in.

The freezer in the fridge was totally frozen over, on request, this was attended to immediately.

The fridge in kitchen facilities was dirty with split milk and orange juice.

The laundry washing facilities was only open in the middle of the day when we were out sight seeing.

The gardens to the kitchen area was very untidy.

The outside of rooms looked appalling with clothing and towels .

The tables and chairs were dirty, cracked and shabby, let alone folks smoking there.

I would have expected daily bed making service as is normal with motels.

Sonia was absolutely outstanding, looking after us with kindness and professionalism. Sonia is your greatest asset and I believe she could upgrade your motel to a much higher standard if given the opportunity. Her courtesy and management skills were outstanding.

Usually its very quiet and relaxing but on this occasion the loud music at 3am from next door really spoilt my stay. The same applied to a couple on the other side of the idiots room unfortunately. They were then not going to stay another night.

OK for the price

This hotel is somewhat dated but efforts have been made to keep clean and attractive. The main drawback for us was the noise, from the road traffic as well as other air conditioners going on and off during the night. Probably more discernible because there is little soundproofing in the room (we suspect age related). That being said, the location is convenient to all that the Entrance has to offer. Easy walking to beaches and shops. Friendly service.

Very friendly and efficient check in. The property was clean, but had a wiff of a previous stay who were smokers which was off putting. The bedding, namely the doona cover need a wash to get rid of the smell. The surfaces and bathroom were very clean but the carpet was very stained and needed a good steam clean. Fantastic value. Very Quiet considering it was on the corner of a busy road, but the brick walls between units obviously kept the noise at bay.

Delux room with balcony definitely worth it!

We stayed for one night in Delux room with balcony. Nice clean room with comfortable beds. Location of the room was great. At the back of the property, close to the trees so we could hear birds.
Sonia was very friendly, she organised on my request the microwave for room so I could use it for my toddler.
Pool area is nice, my toddler tried the slide that goes right in the pool and we had bubble bath in the jacuzzi. Overall lovely stay, price is reasonable.

Thank you

One improvement - hotel should look at designated smoking area away from rooms (not outside rooms where smoke can come through windows into others peoples rooms).
