Fantastic Motel in a great location
Our stay with Moonlight Bay Apartments was fantastic. The apartment was a really good size itself, it was super clean, the location was fantastic and even though we didn't get to use it, they have an awesome huge pool as well. The only downside to this booking was dealing with hotels.com and their terrible service during the booking, when we had to make a change. We lost our "free night" we had built up, we ended up paying double the price to stay here, and trying to log a complaint about this for Hotels.com has been an absolute nightmare. It seems the website are great as long as everything goes to plan, but if you need to make a change or a cancellation, that's where it stops. Very, very disappointed and out of pocket and unhappy about this, but couldn't be more happy with the help from Moonlight Bay apartments and our stay there.

Roll the dice - some you win, some you don't.
Check in was robotic and lackluster. Outside accommodation needs some care. Parking was tight, lucky wasn't full. Spa didn't work in room, informed reception on checkout - was greeted with - well it did work and did you follow the instructions!!! - Spas aren't difficult - you push the button and the pump should start.... Room privacy lacking - large windows by front door - if you want the curtains open for daylight, you can see straight into the rooms - needs some form of tinting.

It was my 2nd time coming back and the property is well maintained. The Spa is awesome to help relax and enjoy after a long day. The only issue this time round, we had noisy neighbors partying till 3am which is totally unacceptable and the noise is constant. Otherwise, would have given a 5 star rating

The room was large, clean and refurbished, however there was limited natural light. The windows were 1/2 frosted so I couldn't see out so felt quite closed in. The door to the room is glass and faces a common walkway, so mostly we had the sheer curtain pulled across to stop people looking in. Good property if you just need a bed for the night. Location is excellent.

Awesome place, loved it. Very clean, well-presented. Spa was bigger than expected. Opposite intersection corner to Rye RSL, as well as positioned directly behind great cafes and restaurants. Room was quiet despite seeming like it was booked out. Pool looked nice (but this time of year is too cold for us to try it). TV with blu-ray and Netflix/Prime built-in. Disappointed we only stayed for one night, would have liked to have extended our visit for longer if our circumstances had permitted it!

The only thing we could fault was that there was no video streaming service such as Netflix - which is fairly standard nowadays. Otherwise the apartment was clean and comfortable and we enjoeyed our stay in Rye.
