    Southern Ocean Motor Inn - Very slippery and missing grout shower floor tiles

    It's a budget motel, fairly decent price for a very touristy area, however it was not inexpensive…read moregiven the quality. The bathrooms definitely needed updating. It's very close to the beach and walk to town for restaurants, etc. The fan in our bathroom (room 4) was so noisy it sounded like it was falling apart. It was hard to have the fan (which was combined with the light) on because it was so loud. We did have a microwave, a kettle for boiling water for making coffee or tea, a toaster and two sets of plates and silverware as well as wine glasses and coffee mugs. There was no corkscrew in the room. Might return in one of the new little cabins they are building on the property. They look great.

    This Hotel/Motel is very very old! It has had an update since being built, but I would say that the…read morerenovations were done in the 1990s. The room we stayed in wasn't what we were expecting after paying $300 a night for it. The room was mega small. It had a double bed in it, after being led to believe that the room we had booked & paid for already would have a Queen bed. The bed was made without a donna cover on the donna. The mini fridge would freeze anything we put in it. The shower was dirty. There was missing paint chips all over. The tv had 3 channels; abc kids; abc news; and sbs. Even with being connected to the wi-fi the internet coverage was in and out. Don't expect a house-keeping visit whilst you are there. They only come to 'clean' the room on your departure. We had to ask for clean, dry towels for the second night - as the towels are only small and are of very poor quality. The word that comes to mind when thinking of this Hotel/Motel is tacky. Even down to the lamps on the bedside tables - not even matching, looking as if they were from the 1980s. I wouldn't waste my money at this place again, or recommend it to anyone else!
