Waterfront Lodge Motel

Easy to get the keys from the box for after 19:00 check in (but you must have paid beforehand). You have everything you need for a budget room: comfy bed, en-suite bathroom, soap, enough toilet paper, crockery, A/C, heating, reasonably quiet, nice views. Nice and accommodating staff. Great value. We are coming back.

I like the fact that there was privacy. I liked that shops and restaurants were close by. It was central to all the places I visited and close to the city. Not that I used the kitchen but I liked that feature. Also liked being able to do my washing and drying. The sea views were good too. I also liked the fact that if you wanted your room cleaned or not cleaned all you had to do was slide the sign on the door.

We were welcomed with the pleasant surprise that the two rooms I had booked (one for the friend travelling with us) had been upgraded. So my wife and I had a larger-than-usual room and our friend had the bonus of a water view. She was an international visitor and was duly impressed! I also liked the small balcony overlooking the swimming pool.

Comfortable and clean motel with a fridge and microwave in the room & guest kitchen down the hall. Front desk person was friendly and let me check in even though I was a little early. They assigned me the first room they had cleaned which was good of them. Location is a little further away from the harbour and town centre but only about a 10 min drive. As long as you have a car it’s a good place,if you don’t I’d look for something a little more central.

Everything was as described and the manager was extremely helpful and friendly. Close to shopping and the major highway but very quiet. We will be staying again.
