Good location in Mermaid beach. Not a few minutes walk from the beach which is a minus. Pretty good accomodation and clean. Stuff in the reception were nice but didn't speak good English and couldn't help us a lot , but overall experience was good, good location, convenient parking and clean room with all the needs.

Parking was an issue. On one night we had to park on their neighbouring property. Park lines were faded and difficult to reverse into. Otherwise the facilities in the room were very good and staff were helpful. It's an old property that probably needs a facelift but we have stayed there on various occasions over many years.

A basic motel that has some maintenance requirements. The cleanly off the room and the property generally needed improvements. There was a domestic in the room next door at 5am and nothing was done to deal with this incident by any staff nor did QPS attend.

The staff member I saw was lovely, friendly, and polite. But the room looked nothing like the photos on the website, and I'm not sure if all the glowing reviews were in a different much better room, but the one I had was smelly, and dirty, the door rattled wildly, the bathroom window had a screen area that was broken, there were spider webs, and a grubby mark on the wall where the pillows touched it, inside the cupboards smelt, the fridge smelt, the carpet was stained. It's a place to sleep if that's all you need, but it is not a good place to book for a holiday.

Clean, Comfortable, Great location

Our room was clean and had good amenities for a stay (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery). The pool was very clean. The service at check-in and checkout and during the stay was great. Located in a nice area with lovely beach, lots of dining options, 2 shopping centres nearby and the tram stop.
