Overall, I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and well-equipped, perfect for my needs. I enjoyed the convenience of having a pool and easy access to local restaurants and shops. However, the cleanliness of the fridge left something to be desired, which was a bit disappointing. But for the price, the experience was quite enjoyable!

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel, which was clean and just a short walk from town, making it convenient for family visits. The location was really nice since it’s close to the Sports Club and various eateries. The room was pretty spacious too, but it could use a little touch-up. Overall, it was a good value for the price, even though there were a couple of maintenance issues.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, making it feel like a true home away from home. The location was convenient, being within walking distance to shops and restaurants, but it could be a bit far to drive if you’re just stopping for a night. The pool area was relaxing, and I appreciated having a balcony to enjoy the sunset. The only downside was that I found some leftover bait in the fridge, which wasn’t pleasant. Overall, it’s great value for a longer holiday stay!

I had a lovely stay at this motel during my Sunshine Coast road trip. The spacious and clean rooms made for a comfortable base, and the location was super convenient with easy access to restaurants and shops. While the private balcony and kitchenette were great, I did have some issues with the fridge cleanliness. Overall, it offered fantastic value for money and was right near the beautiful beach.
