Very good value considering the location. We were wanting something basic and this room suited us well. It had been renovated before we stayed and although it was a bit tiny in the bathroom, it was nothing to complain about. (Singapore hotels are much smaller!) It was so great being able to walk down to the main strip. We also... More

Very very small bathroom. Toilet is hardly big enough to sit on.... should be a kiddy toilet., horrible pillows average mattress, room was clean but the staff unhelpful. I wanted to check out at noon but he said no.... odd since they were only half full (if that!) Location is fine

We stayed in this small hotel for one night. The economy room was small, but nicely furnished and well finished. The disappointment we had was lack of furnished soap/shampoo/conditioner/shower gel. There was no hair dryer or free wi-fi (cost was quoted @ $7.50/hr). The location is near the Mooloolah River, convenient to restaurants and beach.

Nice outlook over the marina and very quiet. One level motel and good parking outside room. Very clean and tidy, linen and towels great and the bed comfortable. Not a big room but ample for what I wanted. Had air con and a table and chair. An easy walk to the shops and surf club.

The room had brand new air con, flat screen tv, tea coffee making facilities and a neat and tidy ensuite. Off road parking was also a bonus . Very close to centre of moolooaba(two min walk).

Very close to everything - Underwater World etc. Mooloolaba Bowls Club across the road as well as Nightowl Store, McDonalds. Receptionist was friendly. Room was small (Queen bed and one single), not that you are in it for long because you are so close to everything you will be out and about. Great parking just outside the room. Our window... More

Choose this motel for a short stay at the sunshine coast. It is a about 5 minutes away from the main happening at the ocean front main street and beaches, so a bit off the beaten path, but much much cheaper then anything you can get at the ocean front.

We found the staff very friendly and helpful in advice on local activities. Situated only short walk to shops and attractions, I found the Motel to be perfect for our budget short stay. We were in room 7. The room was clean and towels, extra pillow, tea & coffee supplied. No shampoo or too many of those extra frills, but... More
