Try the Pork Belly...yum!
A quirky place! The room was smallish so if you need laptop space and there are two people, it's a little crowded BUT for the price it is great value. Fantastic restaurant. Great food at competitive prices. Friendly folks. Very good undercover parking.

Great place to stay, was only there for one night but it is a great location near the Strand. Great dining and bar facilities. Rooms were clean and tidy with motel information and menus in rooms. Really liked the convenient car parking, is a bit tight but very handy to hotel, with cctv.
Will definitely stay again.

Most the staff members were awesome, super kind and helpful. There was one person, however, who just constantly seemed like he didn’t want to be there at all, which was reflected upon us in his service that dragged the experience down. Other than that, the property offered great value for money and we really enjoyed our stay.

Cockroaches
Room had large red cockroaches, not just one but three. I have never seen that before in all my travels. The light in the bathroom didn’t work. A part from that the room was comfortable. Well located, walking distance to esplanade.
