Disliked: Cleanliness
Good location, but lacking elsewhere.
Room: mould on shower wall, wall fixing for shower head unsecured (resulting in the hose firing off water uncontrollably around the shower room!), holes in the bed sheet, no hair-dryer, no iron (not even on request).

Nice hotel for the price
This is a nice hotel, since we had a car, we could stay at this hotel, which is not near the beach. Instead we drove to different beaches and waterfalls for variety. White Sand beach was the best for us.

Great Location & Breakfast Buffet
Stayed here 9 nights in early February for a scuba diving vacation. Great location on the highway, where there are many good restaurants, bars, laundry, pharmacy, food mart, 7-11, massage, etc... there is a currency conversion booth next door that gives a great rate of USD to THB of 98.7%. Also very close to the main road that runs to the beach, where most dive shops are located, plus most great restaurants, bars, massage and souvenir shops are located. Compared to Patang / Karon / Kata this area is far more rural and quiet... a very laid back atmosphere that I enjoyed much more than last year down south. Motive: clean comfortable bed and pillows, extra towels provided upon request, prompt maid service. But what I liked best was the breakfast buffet, awesome. Each morning a different combination of rice and noodle dishes. Never had the same dish twice. Kudos to the cook. Eggs made to order by the chef, served with bacon. Fresh watermelon and pineapple. Toast machine. Milk & cereal. Great coffee. Orange juice. Outside dining in a nice covered patio area. Will definitely book here again when I come back.

Great Budget Accomodation
Overall, a great budget hotel if you are looking to be out and explore everyday instead of staying in. Located right across the street (very dangerous to cross as it has no pedestrian lights) from the street market, convenient stores and massage, and ~10 min walk from the beach. The hotel itself is very standard with close to no amenities. There is a small pool but I never used it and they serve daily breakfast buffet, though I believe there is a fee. The room is spacious and the air conditioning was 100% functional which is essential in the hot weather. I can't vouch for the cleanliness - there were spider webs in literally every corner in the room, and my bed sheets seemed like they could be cleaner. Water pressure was acceptable; however, don't expect to enjoy hot showers as the water heater somewhat heats up water, but they were no more than lukewarm water. There is also a small hole by the window of where lizards can freely roam in and out of my room which somewhat bothered me.

Good location for the local area
We stayed for 2 weeks here and really enjoyed the room and the locale. Bingo restaurant is just two minutes walk and serves excellent thai food for a very good price all night. Mars bar up the road is and excellent bar in the evenings and e local market is just across the road. The room is very nice, the only thing i would change is the bed has no headboard and there is a line of bricks poking out of the wall at head level, a little precarious.

Nice place, centrally located
Close to the Khao Lak action, Motive Cottage is on the "highway" through town, across the road from the "Main Street" where many shops and restaurants are to be found. So while there is highway noise (nicely masked by the pool's waterfall), you don't get the noise of the massed crowds that likely run from dusk to dawn - but the location is perfect, because you can easily head over the road if that's your thing too! Motive's room are generously sized, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious - a much fuller fare then I expected for the price. The staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, Motive gave us fantastic value for money. Of the 5 places we stayed in the Khao Lak area, my teenage daughter is recommending Motive to her friends as a place they could all stay on their SE Asia tour - affordable, safe, clean, close to the action with a great breakfast.

Great budget hotel, easy walk to beach
My husband and I wanted a hotel in Khao Lak that wouldn't break the bank and we decided to go with Motive Cottage. It is about a 15 minute walk to the beach (depending how fast or slow you walk) but it is an easy stroll down a road with lots of restaurants and bars. The only problem was there wasn't great beach access, so we ended up having to walk through another resort to actually get to the beach. The room was very comfortable and clean and we had to complaints. The breakfast was also great; you had eggs to order with breakfast meats, toast, fruit, and coffee tea, ect. Overall very comfortable room.
