"We booked a balcony room with an ocean view. It was very nice. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the shower had no door and was very dark and the lighting in the bathroom was also very dark. They do have a gym, but it is very small. Also the gym does not have water or heavy weights. I believe the heaviest is 25 kg. No barbells at all. Luckily it was just me in there both mornings or else it would be too many people! The pool was lovely and heated and not to be missed. The breakfast was average. The oatmeal was almost soup and the hard-boiled eggs were overcooked. However they had delicious hard cheese and a juicer. You will be fed and find something. The happy hour for beer was a bit of a rip off because they "discount" the Heineken but then also serve it in a smaller glass, so it is actually more expensive! The food for dinner was decent enough and worth eating a meal there. The location is fantastic and a 10 minute walk to the town center or a 40 minute walk to the seal beach. There are places to stop on the way there and excellent grilled seafood for lunch if you take that (recommended) walk. It was a solid hotel overall."

8/10 Good
"Very friendly staff, we felt very welcomed & appreciated being able to drop our luggage off earlier than check in. They had very thoughtfully considered that my travelling companion & I may prefer to be in rooms close to each other & so booked us into rooms a stones throw from each other with one room being a free upgrade because of this. Thank you! The rooms were clean, beds comfortable with more than adequate seating, table and kitchenette facilities. There is traffic noise but situated on a main road only to be expected. Our stay was during October, the weather was wet and cold and even though we were for the most part comfortable temperature wise, we would not book to stay there during the colder months as, based on the rooms we had, do not feel the heating would be adequate plus there are no electric blankets. We feel the somewhat steep walk to the Motor Lodge should be mentioned on the sites that advertise this property; we arrived on foot, having travelled on the Coastal Pacific, & even though by chance we read mention of it when we did a Google maps search to get directions & are still mobile enough in our late 60's for it to be well manageable, we feel that for some it would be an important aspect to consider when booking. We were surprised that there was no information in our rooms in respect of things such as safety evacuation process, how to operate the tv/sky box etc. Overall, yes we can recommend it, but just bear in mind the few points mentioned."
