A nice, modern hotel within a few minutes to the beach and Mooloolaba shopping/dining precinct. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment which was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. A user friendly Tv/entertainment setup was great. The room was also very quiet. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others. The only thing that would be preferable would be a larger pool, but that encourages you to walk across the road and use the beach!

The motel was clean and in a convenient location was greeted warmly on arrival and enjoyed our stay the only negative things i can say is the room was located down 2 steep hills wich we found a little inconvenient specially after a few drinks !! Also the pool area lacked a little loving and was also down another steep hill but these are only minor things, the motel was excellent value for money and as i said great location so if your ever in Montville do not hesitate to stay here.
