Room is comfier than it looks
Location was amazing!! Although the Inn was clean and comfortable, it is in serious need of renovations. I could not hide my initial disappointment when we first walked in...I wanted to leave. Door to room needs to provide a little more privacy and security - seems like the door could be kicked in with ease. Front desk staff are amazing. Restaurant staff was in midst of training - had requested hot water/tea every meal...still waiting for it to arrive.

Great location
Perfect location if you’re going to the Port Arthur historic site as you get in by the back gate avoiding any queues.
Rooms were clean though dated and the bathroom was old. Overall it was a great stay and staff were very helpful.

Port Arthur Stay
A very good place to stay if you are visiting the Port Arthur historical site. It is right next to the site so you can easily walk to the front gate.

Couldn’t get closer to Port Arthur historic site
Great facility right on the port Arthur historic site, so you could see the ruins from the restaurant and access the site from the grounds. Restaurant food was terrific. An older motel, but still had everything you needed and clean and comfortable.

I liked that it was next to the historic site & you could see it from the restaurant where we had dinner. Also they gave me access to walk through to the historic site in the morning after my stay

This motel is on the backdoor of the Port Arthur site. Although the rooms are dated, they are very clean and roomy.
There is direct access to the historic site, a friendly local bar and a choice of meals and locations - in the dining room or in the bar.
Some rooms overlook the site and have a balcony, where you can sit and take in the beautiful site.
There is also on-site parking and is close to other attractions in the area.

Proximity to Port Arthur is perfect, but that all I can say. Rooms are seriously dated. Needs a major upgrade.

Loved the location and the view over Port Arthur from our balcony was outstanding. The motel was well appointed and has a restaurant if needed.
Everything was clean and welcoming access and parking were easy.
