Even though the motel was a bit dated, it was clean and comfortable. The dining area was amazing with beautiful views across the Port Arthur site. The food at the restaurant was first class and most enjoyable. It was good to be able to have breakfast there as well. Great to be so close after a big afternoon exploring the historic site.

The rooms were a little outdated but in a great location. Parking near room could be difficult in a larger vehicle Receptionist was friendly.
