Over all a clean and tidy place. Bed was way too soft and woke up with a sore back. Cutlery was a mismatch from a charity shop. Rung for a create for the room and was quoted $25 more than the web site i booked through. Central to eateries and the plaza. With supermarkets very close.

Value, cleanliness and a great location.
A group of friends stayed and it was perfect. Comfy beds that felt new and fresh. All facilities felt clean and well cared for/updated. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Would stay again as only $52 for each person and super close to the city, a great location.

Great positioning and parking, handy to town centre at a reasonable price.
The only down fall was the room had mould around the bathroom window and the shower tile grout was showing signs of it too.

Awesome cute place, maybe could use a booklet highlighting the best places in palmy to visit, but honestly great experience would recommend to anyone looking for affordable, walking distance accommodation.
Geoff
Our room was clean and functional, but we would have expected more for the price we were charged. In addition, the property did not offer breakfast, which also detracted from its value.

The unit booked online was not the one that we got, the price was different and not all facilities advertised were available.
Jon
Adequate, heater a little underpowered.
Verified traveler
The units we were in were two bedrooms with a nice kitchen and lounge area. The bathroom had been updated so was great. We had requested two queen beds in each room but only found out on arrival the second room had single beds and couldnt be converted. Also second room was dark and tiny with no wardroom or any where to put suitcases. However over all was a comfortable stay. Location was excellent as could walk everywhere, town, plaza and river walkway.

Very convenient location. Lots of space in our unit. Clean and tidy. All quiet while we were there. Would stay there again.

Family visit
It was a good stay. We are happy to return to this accomodation.
Verified traveler
Good size unit, the room was serviced each day. On the first day I arrived there was a significant altercation (yelling match) between guests in an upstairs unit. Lots of \"f\" words and threats to call the cops. Pretty unpleasant. I was not sure about safety, but no more incidents after that.
Mark
Walkig distance to town. Very helpful staff. Differently stay again
Verified traveler
The unit was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the bedroom isnt fully seperate, just on a second landing, not ideal for a family with older children if privacy is wanted.
We asked for the advertied option of a second queen bed but ended up with 2 singles. Also the advertised spa bath wasnt working.

Business trip
Overall ok, despite being on main road, no real road noise of concern, and no noticeable noise from other rooms so nice and quiet,
Hotel states it has a gym facilities, the equipment is sparse, old and not fit for use any more, so don’t stay here if you expect a working gym.
I mucked up my booking, and the staff rang me and sorted it no problems so good service.
Not sure if this is 4 star though?

Motel was nice and clean, pretty standard.
We had a slight issue with hot water after one person had a shower, basically had to wait for the water to heat up again for the 2nd person
