The room was tidy and met our needs for our stay. The staff were kind enough to let us check out late as our flight left in the afternoon and let us use some cleaning equipment when needed too. We were able to have our cat with us too, so were very grateful for that.

The receptionist was helpful, room is quite clean inside (I wondered as it is like a flat with 2 bedrooms with more than 2 beds). The motel and carpark area maybe an old building. The other guests who talked in loudly voices may disturb my peaceful stayed. Thank you for helpful information about the Mana Cruising club.

Reasonably priced. Stayed two nights as a family of three. Towels weren't changed at all for second day. Nowhere in bayhroom to hang your towel or clothes and no handrail for handtowel. Had to bring dining chair into bathroom to put towel etc on. Vape left under one of the beds from previous people, child found ehich was a bit icky. One small heater to heat whole unit so was a bit cold Very clean though and convenience to where we needed to go. Maybe long term residents staying by looks of it.
