Great area and easy to access however the rooms did not feel clean or smell clean, just changing the basics between every guest is not good enough, rooms need a thorough cleaning. For the price paid for 1 night, it felt like a rip off. The outdoor BBQ was also in a poor/ dirty condition as well as having broken BBQ cleaning equipment.

At first we were wondering if because it is a little out of town and an older motel if we would like it. It was great value, older but spotless and the front desk staff waa helpful. The tea coffee milk and biscuits were a nice to have. Its not an executive hotel but great value for the money

Good stay in Torquay
Wifi was fast and solid, my top priority. Table and chair were fine. Shower area could use a little more deep cleaning but it's not a biggie. Front desk person was very helpful. Convenient location, near the main road but couldn't hear the noise. Would stay again.
