In opinion it was a motel room and it looked like a motel room The carpark looked like a carpark.The pool looked like a pool.i didn't get to meet the staff it took myself making a phone call to find out the key was in the room and what number it was but thats ok.The best meals in the Portarlington area is definitely the golf club.If you are looking for a woman in this town I recommend bring one another town with you.

The customer service is the best I've ever had, lovely people. Good, clean and comfortable place to stay at a good price. The only negative thing I could have said was the tv was very old, not a smart tv, so no netflix to go to sleep to.

Quick stay

Average to small room. Showing its age. Old television. Well appointed with good air conditioning. Let down a little by dirty/used ashtray left on table. And cutting my foot on small sliver of glass left on floor, probably left from previous tenants.
