Nice clean room. Excellent friendly staff. Great location other than next to the main road so a bit of road noise (ear plugs solve that easily). Was a good stay.

The staff here is the best— extremely nice and helpful. There are definitely more expensive places, but, this was a perfect spot for getting on the tram. I was here to run the marathon so this spot worked great.

The female staff member that checked us in was very friendly and welcoming . She really went out of her way to help. The room was all we needed, bed was comfortable and shower good. It was great being connected to the Irish pub for good reasonably priced meals and drinks. It is close to the light rail stops and easy walk to the water. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was lovely in terms of the service, location, clean room and nice relaxed motel. We loved the food at the restaurant it was next level. It was so close to walk to the main beach and we caught the tram for .50c outside the motel to Cavil Ave which was so easy. Highly recommend this place for a cheap comfortable stay.
