No thrills but fantastic location and price
The location is great being a block away from Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and 2 blocks to the beach.
The motel is old but kept clean. Parking was limited and the stairs were slippery in the rain
The kettle was too big to be filled from the sink and had to be done in the shower. The crockery and cuttlery could only be rinsed as no detergent was provided. No house keeping during our 3 day stay either. No face washers and no where to hang wet towels.
Overall Average but the price and location was great

Good location in Mermaid beach. Not a few minutes walk from the beach which is a minus. Pretty good accomodation and clean. Stuff in the reception were nice but didn't speak good English and couldn't help us a lot , but overall experience was good, good location, convenient parking and clean room with all the needs.

Clean, Comfortable, Great location
Our room was clean and had good amenities for a stay (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery). The pool was very clean. The service at check-in and checkout and during the stay was great. Located in a nice area with lovely beach, lots of dining options, 2 shopping centres nearby and the tram stop.

The room was ok but the outside was very tired and road works didn’t help finding the place.
The property was expensive for what we got.
