The facilities inside the room were very useful and helped us have a very comfortable stay.

    Great view of the water, can't wait for the ferry terminal to be completed - will make this place 5 stars! Older room, but that means it has a lot more room than newer units. Really enjoyed being able to have some nibbles and a cocktail before heading across the river to attend our event too. Lovely friendly staff and easy convenient (and cheap) parking. Coming back soon.

    People have given this motel 5 stars, but am given it 2 stars. The room I was staying was not clean, it was dusty, spiderwebs to the ceiling and dead insects. I tried to open the room, the dust that came from the window curtain was shoking. My bed sheets were not clean.,there were hair in the sheets which I felt uncomfortable to sleep.
