Cengiz
Obviously not a 5 star hotel, but for the price and location, came with everything I needed. Could do with a new mattress but other than that, I highly recommend Beachfront Motel!
Jenny
Perfect position in the Main Street. Old but very clean
De Wet
Basic maintenance needed, outside lock, toilet was leaking and curtain rails falling.
Bring air fryer if you want to make own food

Good location to walk into town. Especially when it rains a lot, you are mostly under verandahs. Opposite the G e beach for the warmer weather
Richatd
Nice clean room with small kitchen. All equiped well good value for a short stop
Deborah
A lovely position but didn’t have a Seaview. Made the most of it a great room plenty of space.
Pauline
the room was small and very clean. bed was very good. it was very quiet and the town was just down the road. all in all an excellent stay. thank you.
Julian
This place was fine. Low cost but also fairly basic. Staff friendly. Old style motel (as you would deduce from its name). Nothing special but you wouldn’t catch anything either!
Christopher

Elizabeth
Everything was well matched to price - clean and comfortable.

Parking was really tight, but you are right in front of your room! Just across the street is the beach and visitor center. Close to the stores and shops! Wonderful. Nice and quiet. Beds were comfortable. BEST SHOWER EVER!

Merri
Large clean room with a good kitchen with every thing you need. Close to all the shops and beaches.
Chris
Sheets felt like plastic. One bed was unmade looked like it had been slept on.
Mold inside and outside the shower.
Way overpriced and rundown on the outside pictures do not reflect reality of what you get

Elisa
Easy late check in, brilliant location, lovely room
Marco
There was no room available, we were asked to go to hotel next door on „excuse“ of the rooms being better. we ended up in a room which was actually a converted store. i.e room was with full glass wall to street, and to make things worse, on check in it was not clean. Terrible. if you have no capacity or resouces simply do not let or advertise rooms. Unnacceptable
Michael
There is NO reception at this hotel. No one to speak with . If you are an international visitor you have to call locally to some fellow to check you in. Customers are always looking around to find staff. The poor cleaners take a beating from customers looking for service personnel. How can you run a hotel and not deal with customers who have questions?
Catherine
Extremely basic room and very dated. There was only less than half a roll of loo paper in the bathroom. We could not locate anybody at reception for more. We were extremely glad we only booked in for one night.
Definitely not value for the high amount we were charged.

Sarah
Room was clean and tidy, was a giid price for me veing an Expedia gold member but full price roo.s would be a bit steep for the look of the place externally. My matress was a bit hard but other than that. Good place to stay and friendly staff.
David
Clean room, although the fly screens needed dusting, and the roof window surrounds needed cleaning. Otherwise the room was excellent, good aircon and large flat screen TV.
Brett
Great spot for a pit stop

Nice place in a good position. Would stay again for sure. Extra quick checkin
Lesley
We loved this property - easy to find and in a great location. Sheltered parking space right outside the door of our room. A few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and beach. The room itself was beautifully clean and had everything needed for our stay. Easy check-in and out with friendly, welcoming staff. We would recommend this property.

The property was a little old but the room itself was big and nice with a seperate bathroom and kitchenette. I was a close walk to all shops and pubs.
Barbara
I was a little disappointed when we arrived from a long drive and our room wasn't ready yet. We were told we would have to come back in half our. Did this and still had to wait for the floors to dry. But she was very apologetic.
Verified traveler
Limited supplies and cold
The hot shower and location was great. Very limited supplies. For example, 2 kleenex, sparse on dishes, towels were very worn. Soap dispenser in bathroom didn't work and it was very cold in the room. We managed to get heat working and then it would shut off. Fridge was turned off and we weren't able to get it working properly because we were only there 1 night. No ice provided and no capacity to make our own ice.
