    The friendliness and it was very organized. The motel parking was very accessible, we found it straight away at night. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very warm in the middle of winter. The soap and shampoo and amenities were very nice also.

    The location of this hotel/motel was fabulous. Pareking was easy and the hotel is an easy walk down the hill to part of shoal bay - so you dont have to battle parking in peek times. The hotel is slightly isolated from shops and other things going on - so you may need to buckly up as you will need to battle out for parking at some stage during yoru stay
