Great little gem in the heart of Rye

Property is in a well located area close to beach and shops/restaurants. Everything is walking distance. Room was clean and the one bedroom apartment was very spacious. It had a separate living/kitchen area and large bathroom. The only drawback was the mattress was very hard and can do with an update.

Fantastic Motel in a great location

Our stay with Moonlight Bay Apartments was fantastic. The apartment was a really good size itself, it was super clean, the location was fantastic and even though we didn't get to use it, they have an awesome huge pool as well. The only downside to this booking was dealing with hotels.com and their terrible service during the booking, when we had to make a change. We lost our "free night" we had built up, we ended up paying double the price to stay here, and trying to log a complaint about this for Hotels.com has been an absolute nightmare. It seems the website are great as long as everything goes to plan, but if you need to make a change or a cancellation, that's where it stops. Very, very disappointed and out of pocket and unhappy about this, but couldn't be more happy with the help from Moonlight Bay apartments and our stay there.

Roll the dice - some you win, some you don't.

Check in was robotic and lackluster. Outside accommodation needs some care. Parking was tight, lucky wasn't full. Spa didn't work in room, informed reception on checkout - was greeted with - well it did work and did you follow the instructions!!! - Spas aren't difficult - you push the button and the pump should start.... Room privacy lacking - large windows by front door - if you want the curtains open for daylight, you can see straight into the rooms - needs some form of tinting.
