This motel has come under new management recently which does not seem to know how to maximise the attraction and efficiency of what is undoubtedly a potentially very good establishment. Room sizes are most generous, and the efficient A/C is a huge bonus. My structural complaint is that there is insufficient sound proofing between floors so we were left in no doubt about the daily routines of the guests immediately above us! Daily control of staff seems to be lacking and defect reports are rather shrugged off by the new owner who seems to sit in the office all day doing who knows what. Twice we had to assist couples who arrived after the front office closed at 6 pm and the owner/manager failed to respond to telephone calls made as instructed on the office door. The new team must understand that it is in a service industry!! There is no consistency in the cleaning and checking of rooms so one room may not have trash removed while another ran out of toilet rolls. It is screaming out for proper quality control. I just hope that the new manager will learn lessons and respond to ensure that this great asset does not just fade away into service decay. However and currently, having compared this motel with many others along the esplanade this is the one to choose even though it is a good 20 minute walk into town for restaurants. Phil and Michelle run a friendly and swift taxi service, WHITI CITY Cabs for $10 a trip. Well worth it for the moment but will it survive?!

Large room was great with really nice views across the bay. The Motel feels like it's getting a little tired. Needs a good tidy up and messy around the edges.
