malcolm
Yes
Mia
Not sure where the reviews I have seen about the property being lovely come from because it is far from. The reason they don't take a security deposit is because there isn't anything you can do to the space that isn't already in a bad state of disrepair. Between the paint pealing off the wall and exposing the chipping wall to the frayed door the room needs an overhaul before anyone else stays there. The location is lovely, but not nearly as close to the beach as images will have you think. If you are driving a large truck or are traveling with a trailer don't stay there as the space is tight. Overall, everything about the room screamed, just go to sleep and morning will come soon enough so that you can check out.

Foxtel was nice. Lots of leaves and bugs on car when we left in morning.
Sam
We had an excellent stay. Parking is right in front of the room. Close to all amenities. Will come and stay again in my next trip.
Chris
Our room was super spacious and we could park right outside.
We were within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do.
The one thing that I wasn't particularly happy with was the force of the water in the shower - not great!
But thank you, it was pretty much what we wanted at that time.

Loved the view and the room.
Except -the stairs that wooden stair is very soft and wobbly,
- hair dryer in the room needs upgrade to something more powerful and also safety tag is past due date
Everything else is excellent

Great value for money for our 1 n stop but it is an older accommodation which does mean very large rooms which is a bonus. Like us all it’s showing it age but perfectly workable 😇

Good cheap place to stay overnight, room is clean but needs some work shower door doesn’t close properly. Bathroom door doesn’t stay shut.
Wayne
The room was very basic, but was ok for an overnight stop over.
Daryl
PORPERTY IS RUN DOWN. HAS BEEN NICE BUT NOW IS NOW QUITE SHABBY.
Danny
Quite but needs work
The size of the room was better than expected. Reasonably well equipped with a decent size refrigerator. The kitchenette had plenty of preparation space. The television was too small for the size of the bed sitting room. Insufficient clothes hangers for the cupboard. The wall between bathroom and bedroom appeared to have water damage. The parking needs to be made clearer- car space lines with room numbers to stop confusion.
Ruth
Very comfortable beds, room excellent size and bathroom well set out. Quiet location and close to good food options
Sarah
This was a comfortable stay for overnight. The room was clean but old. The parking is easy and off street and safe. It's close to the shops and IGA.

Overall the motel is old and showing its age. Reasonably clean and very comfortable. Good water pressure in shower. Easy walk to shops including BWS for wine and Woollies for cheese.

We eere there for 4 nights and our bed sheets were not changed only our bins and towels and room was vacuumed on our request.
Issan
Nice place and close to everything.
Check in was fast and room was spacious for the 3 of us. Everything as expected for the room type. Staff extremely friendly and happy to help with my change in booking. Location was fantastic as it was close to the fishing piers which we used extensively. Would stay again and recommend.
James
Inside room was modern, clean and comfortable. Microwave, fridge and reverse cycle air cobditioner all worked well. Outside perhaps needs some maintenance, soecifically, it was raining quite a bit and there were leaks from gaps around the outside of the building, including at the front of the rooms, no great impact on my stay though, more of a appearance thing.

Cornelia
It is close to shops and most places where you can eat and Close to the beach. Our room was in need of maintenance, looked like the wall next to the shower is getting moist and the paint was coming off. The shower door does not close properly, the toilet seat and water bowl lid was loose. The bed was hard and the pillows very soft. The ants was all over the tray with cutlery and plates. We did not even use any of this. In general it was okay but need maintenance done.

A very spacious room with a very comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean, close to cafes, restaurants, pubs and harbour. Great value.
Kenneth
Motel in Portland. Large room, dated but clean. Close to cafes, restaurants and bars. Warm aircon. Across from Leisure Centre. Quiet
Loretta
The Location is great! All within walking distance. The Motel sign was not easily seen at night time though. The room was huge in size and immaculate. Good value for price paid. But most disappointingly was that I could hear a constant motor noise which sounded like a tumbler dryer from the bathroom. did not get any better even with the bathroom door closed. The annoying noise persisted till 2:30am. The noise ceased as soon as I turned off the split Aircon. I left a message on the owners' answer machine at 11pm as no body picked up the phone. I reported the incidence when I returned the key the next morning. They said they would look into it.
Susan
Spacious room, parking out front. But on the negative side, kettle not working properly. Musty smell to room. Bathroom badly needs updating.
