Only problem was noise.
The room itself was great, nice and clean, and the location was amazing.
My only problem was the bar at the motel, it was so loud most of the day and early night, especially when they had live music. I couldn't relax in my room because of that.

Convenient to tram and beach. Rooms are close to the pub. We did not mind the associated noise, but it might be a factor for some people. We would stay there again.

Proper friendly hotel
Booked as it was cheap for an advanced booking, thought would be an OK place to sleep.
Room a bit worn sort of rustic but great bed, nice bathroom working AC and fan lovely little pool
Best of all a proper pub, good food and the staff really make it.
Pub closes at 10pm so not that noisy given its main road location. Garage car parking included

Weekend stay
Easy check in. The place is a little noisy as it is right on the main road. Friendly staff and quick walk to Surfers or Broadbeach cafes.
