"Checked in in the middle of the night, sometimes did not book in advance, other rooms in the middle of the night were closed, these two, very good, buffet breakfast is also very good, do your own food."
"The room was huge and the facilities were perfect. The only problem was that it was right next to the road, so there was noise from passing vehicles. But most motels have this problem, and you can't hear it when you're asleep anyway."
"Nice room, it was exactly like the pictures and description. Price performance value was good, they turned the heater on before arrival and there was a heated blanked. Friendly and very helpful staff and you can park infornt of your room. Only negative thing was the little hole in the window in the bathroom. I wish you and your family the best."
"A good place to live for one night. The room is big enough for a family. You get basic cooking facilities in the small kitchen. Everything is clean and well maintained."
"At first we made a mistake in the room, the front desk personally took us to the room, wrong her, the service attitude is really good, so warm, really a little sorry, but thank you! The room is large and there is a yard, because it is too cold to sit, the room does not have air conditioning, but there is a heater, and the efficiency is very high, recommended"
"I was so happy to stay here.
Friendly boss
Spacious kitchen and living room
I tried to spa because I had a bathtub, but I was so tired that I fell asleep.
I have an oven, so I eat Tomahawk steak.
There are a lot of dvd at the front desk, so I think it's good to have dinner and watch a movie."
"The location is next to the road, so there will be noise at night when cars pass by quickly and the houses here are generally not soundproofed. But if the room is near the parking lot, maybe it can be improved. Everything else is perfect, because there is a living room and an open kitchen, two bedrooms (one with a single bed and one with a double bed), a separate bathroom with dry and wet areas, and a hair dryer, which is a great deal"
"As a place to rest for a short break on the road, it is relatively simple. It is very close to Caroline Beach. It is not very convenient to walk to the town center. It is not very far to see the blue penguin."
"The room is very convenient on the first floor, for people traveling. There is free parking space and the kitchen utensils are complete, although we do not cook ~ about 10 minutes walk from the beach"
"Just a reminder the reception will close at 8pm. Booked a lot of hotels during the whole journey so didn’t read the booking details carefully and didn’t realize the reception closed at 8pm. So we need to call the hotel when arrived. Location is good. Facility is good. Basically got everything we need. A simple kitchen is included."
