We had a fantastic room and was well maintained but we came in late and there was no one parking spot on the lot that I could park my car, with 3 kids, clothes and food bags, it was an inconvenience to have to park outside the premises

We were only there for one day but all the staff were friendly and helpful. Check in and out was easy and quick. While it might not be the newest place in Port the rooms are comfortable, clean well appointed and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Finally, it’s within very easy walking distance to shops, cafes and restaurants.
