Great location. Lovely motel. Adequate breakfast. My room was near an entrance No 335 and was very noisy at times after midnight . Inconsiderate loud visitors.Not the motels fault but annoying. Staying again in a few days and have requested not to be given that room. Lovely pool area. I got the room at a great price.

The expectations were exceeded! Easy walking distance to many restaurants, shops and around the city as well as to the waterfront area. Two bus stops withins 5 minutes walk from the motel and you can go to the Mindil Market through the Botanical Garden from the motel, its easy walking distance around 30 minutes walk or you can just catch a bus to and from. A very lovely cafe inside the garden ( Eva's Cafe ) is a must to go to for breakfast, ( Laksa Benedict is divine! ) coffee or brunch. They have yummy looking drinks too. Upon arriving at the motel, the staff were very nice, polite and welcoming. We didn't know breakfast ( a very good selections ) is complimentary which is a plus!The upkeep of the place is immaculate! From the rooms, inside the place and the surrounding. Everybody was friendly, even the guests are great! We will definitely stay here again when our next visit is due. Highly recommend this place. Thank you guys!!👍😃
