Lovely to be close to the sea and if you booked the right room you can see it out the window. But other than that it is tired and dated and over priced for what you get. I appreciate they are going to knock it over and build a big new place soon but until then, this place is over priced for the level of comfort. The bed noisy, fan in bathroom nearly caught fire, shower leaked and bathroom like something out of the 1960s. ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### thorkild 5 Sept 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Dissappinting According to them they offered breakfeast. But reality no. I had to go to local restaurant to get that. Thechotel is old and worn. I stayed a full week and the room wasent cleaned several times. ##### thorkild Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona 23 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property overlooks the beach which is beautiful. ##### Fiona Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin 21 Jul 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fit for purpose very neat and clean ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 14 Jul 2022 ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 5 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overnight stay to break up a journey After spending a week in Eyre Peninsula, I stayed at the Foreshore to break up my return drive to Adelaide. Having stayed here before, I knew it would be a pleasant experience. Being a weekend, the restaurant and reception were closed, so I did not have an opportunity to meet with the staff or dine locally. The rooms are very much your typical motor inn, good value with pleasant condition. While the Foreshore cafe no longer seems to be open (at least nor on weekends), I was able to walk to and from the local pubs 10-15 minutes away My ground floor room was quiet and very little passing traffic, and I was able to walk the shore and nearby Ada Ryan Gardens safely and comfortably. Will be looking forward to visiting after the planned redevelopment, knowing it is good value already, ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Mick 12 Jun 2022 ##### Mick Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephen 3 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tracy 15 May 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Outdated, cups and glass were small - couldn’t have a coffee in the morning. Room smelt funny. Lack of designated parking and very noisy. Expensive for what it was! ##### Tracy Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [The Memoir Club (formerly Ambassadors Bloomsbury)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ambassadors-Bloomsbury.h84046.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waters Khao Lak by Katathani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takua-Pa-Hotels-The-Waters-Khao-Lak-By-Katathani.h5500003.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Nastro Azzurro Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Piano-Di-Sorrento-Hotels-Nastro-Azzurro-Resort.h1060310.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London - Dartford by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dartford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Dartford.h913417.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Cars > [Car hire near Craignure Mull Ferry Terminal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Craignure-Mull-Ferry-Terminal.d553248635930541873.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Holiday Rentals > [Alicante Province Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Alicante-Province.d6023825.Holiday-Rental-Destinations)
