Arrived at check in time and couldn't access the property until someone turned up 40 minutes later to unlock the gate. No check in instructions were sent to me. Our room had no bench space and the skirting boards were missing around the floor area where ants were observed entering the room. The bathroom had no shower screen with water going everywhere, no exhaust fan or window in the bathroom and little to no bench space. For the first 2 nights of our stay there was a loud water flowing noise from the room above which was reported to the manager

For a quick stopover, it is a fine spot. The AC in the room is fine, the bed is relatively comfortable, and the kitchenette is good to have, which has a kettle, a toaster, a microwave, some plates and bowls, utensils, and dish soap. It is easy to park as the spot is right outside the unit.

However, there are quite a few noticeable issues. The reception is rarely staffed (maybe because it is between Christmas and New Year) so good luck if you have any questions or need any help. The bed rolls and you can't lock it in place. The bedsheet had a literal hole. The walls around the kitchennette had stains that either resembled either blood or tomato sauce. The shower doesn't have the best water pressure and isn't the warmest. The room also lacked outlets so we ended up charging our phone by the kitchennette.

Seriously? You charge a good hotel rate for this? How long ago you fixed the shower or cleaned the vent? Ancient aircon - even if you turn off yours, you still can't sleep because you hear neighbours'. Not even decent pillows and blankets. This is beyond disgusting

Our family had an early morning flight and I think we got about 3 hours sleep. The shower was a saving grace!

The room was nice and large enough for 5 adults; the staff that I communicated with were all very polite and friendly. We felt there was a few things lacking in motel content that you would normally expect to see (i.e. extra pillow, hair dryer) and also one of the quilts was noticed to have cigarette burns in it.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, in my life. Old dirty. I couldn’t sit in the arm chair for grease on chair. Filthy tiles in bathroom. Someone had a shower next door and water came up through drain in my bathroom. Dirty marks on wall. No bed head. Floor was sticky and dirty. Walls were paper thin. Could hear next door. Not sufficient lock on the door. Felt unsafe on my own. Sheets were clean. Terrible experience. Wont be trusting Wot if again.

This motel was great ..Nice and quiet with a clean pool in a private area . The owner at the front dest was very friendly and informative - giving me clear instructions on how to open the gate and return the key when I left early in the morning. I felt safe in the motel as there is a big gate at the front, so only motel patrons can access the grounds . The motel is a 5 min walk to the local coach stop . I got a coach and train back to Sydney and it was a very scenic and enjoyable trip . I would stay at this motel again ..

We stayed for 5 nights and the room was not cleaned once. We had to keep asking for towels and toilet paper being given one roll of paper each time. Room is very small and does not breathe. location is good can walk to Twin Towns clubs etc.

I was surprised at how quiet the room was. The kitchenette was a bonus, and the microwave meant I could return at the end of each day and quickly heat a meal. The kitchen cupboard had everything for cleaning afterwards.
Everything was clean, and the bed was comfortable.
My only problem was the air-conditioning unit was noisy.
I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again. Cheers Bev

Wonderful service in my time of need

I booked online at 10pm due to an unforseen change of plan. I should've called but didn't read the bit about calling ahead if check-in time is after 7pm and was just eager to get there and settle in.
When I arrived I was told hotels.com had stuffed up and there weren't any rooms available.
Luckily a guest had checked out during the evening and they COULD offer me a room, albeit without it being cleaned - just fresh sheets and towels.
As this was easier than trying to find somewhere else at 11pm, I agreed. Besides, I was unable to cancel the booking on hotels.com.
I was so grateful for the night manager and owner helping me out.
The bed was comfortable, the water hot, the fridge cold, the unit spacious enough for me.
The Wi-Fi was very poor, the neighbours a bit noisy, and the TV was just free-to-air channels.
I didn't drive anywhere as it's walking distance to everything I needed - Bowls Club, cafe's, restaurants, shopping centre->where I received a great massage and reflexology treatment at Qing Fu TCM.
Great little place for my 3 night stay, however the room never did get cleaned... :-D

Comfortable economic overnight stay with friendly

I needed an overnight stay to continue my journey to Queensland. It was comfortable And the staff were friendly. It was across the road from the bowling club so it ticked the boxes for an economic stay.

Need a holiday after staying there
Rude staff telling us they would only service our motel room which only had 2 towels once during our four night stay.
We had to call them after the third night to say we hadn’t had a service and no clean towels.
Only good thing is it’s a great location for the Bowls Club

Clean, comfy & close

Great few days watching the Australian Indoor Bowls Championships at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club, which is directly over the road from the Blue Pelican. And also with waterfront seafood eateries within a few hundred metres stroll.

Better options in the area

Noisy neighbours arguing, shrieking children running up and down the verandah and people coughing their lungs out at 6am didn’t help but overall the motel isn’t as described. Bedding was great and the room clean but the ambience leaves a lot to be desired. Their was an ugly domestic disagreement that went on too long which should have seen some action from Management. Better options abound.

Nice hotel, easy to find, close to the water!

Staff was excellent when we were greeted, I rang ahead to let them know were running late. I would recommend this to friends as a quick stop over for a night.
