Good location. Nice little pool. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good value for money.

The bathroom could do with an update. Quite a few bugs, probably because of the climate. This has nothing to do with the hotel, but don't eat at the RSL. It was overpriced and not good. Ask staff at the hotel for safer recommendations.

The rooms are large and it was great to have 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen. Housekeeping staff were charming and helpful. It was a great apartment which was an easy walk to town. Did hear a bit of night from the RSL club in middle of night on Friday night but only lasted a few minutes so no real issue. Reception /booking staff very helpful and accomodating

Would be good to have instruction on how to use stove but otherwise all good. Shower was great.

Apartment

Difficult access for elderly, stairs, Huge bathtub with shower in it was not accessible to my elderly Travelers so we all ended up using one bathroom, could easily change to standard tub and have room for a separate shower.if I had known about the access I would have booked the 3 bed 1 bath on the ground floor.

The location. The room. The cleanliness. And the bed was very comfortable

We booked a spa suite....but we were unable to use it as there was a sign that said we could not use after 9:30pm. We didn't even get back from dinner until after 9:30pm...so we did not get to use this...and we paid extra for this room for this facility. Very disappointed about this.

A very clean, neat and comfortable room, in a perfect location, at an extremely reasonable price. This is an older style motel, but well maintained and in an ideal spot. It is managed through the reception of the motel next door, and the staff are incredibly pleasant and friendly. This was our second stay, and there will be a third!

No complaints at all!

got upgraded to a larger room, which was very nice and roomy.

The bed was really soft. Seems bad to be saying I didn't like a soft bed, but it was way too soft for me.

Size of room, facilities and location all excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.

You have to do something in that room around the lighting, particularly around the small food prep area. It was difficult to read a newspaper or book, once sun went down.
