Great Location

Great location and property. It is excellent value for the time of year and is close to everything. The shower wasn't the best, but overall, I was very happy with the property.

Easy check in and out process, clean rooms, hot water takes a while and room a bit noisy but the Australia Day fair was on

4/10 Fair

Faulty TV which was not resolved.Entry door was not secure.Should be a lift to gain entry with heavy suitcases instead of having to lug them up two sets of stairs.Very noisy from the business underneath cooling fans.

My room was clean, cozy and close lots of shops and restaurants. I could never get the wifi to work and the tv service wasnt working in my room. I was only there for one night so not a big issue fir me.

Anne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Small but comfortable

Entire check-in process was performed by remote-control, with email & SMS instructions, but was pretty seamless nevertheless. Motel rooms are up 2 x flights of stairs, so not the easiest with bags to carry. Room was very small, but extremely well appointed & comfy - despite the small size, everything was well laid-out with modern appliances and modern (ensuite-size) bathroom.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room size was small compare to to the one which has been selected
Sujan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was very convenient. The self check in and out process was super easy. But for a property this expensive, the room was very small and there was no reception or staff around. Not worth the cost in my opinion.
Amina, 1-night trip

A nice clean and tidy ben for the night

Good place to stay

Got 3 rooms. No front desk but they leave keys for you. Good clean rooms and right off the strip. Good communication. Would stay again. Quiet and could not hear our neighbors
Nagarjun, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

my review is about the booking experience on wotif. i dont know where the fault lies, but i changed the booking dates to what i wanted on the wotif website, but they changed without me being notified. hence the dates that i booked where not what i requested. i was not able to cancel (hotel policy) despite realising AFTER the confirmation. i feel this is a trap designed by wotif. VERY POOR
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Leaves a lot to be desired.

After we found reception it was good to find a clean and tidy room. Check in was just a key in an envelope. The hot water had a wait time of 5 - 10 minutes not very eco friendly? The ironing board was only useable in a dolls house. TV reception was awful and there was no microwave in the room.

Blue Ocean Motel – Don’t Judge a Book by Its... Exterior Paint Job Okay, real talk: when we first pulled into the Blue Ocean Motel, I had a full-blown “oh no, what have I done?” moment. From the outside, it looked like it might star in a retro horror film called Motel Misery. BUT—big but here—the moment we stepped inside, all our fears vanished faster than free Wi-Fi on a family road trip. The rooms? Spotless. Clean, comfy beds that didn’t feel like they were borrowed from a 1980s hospital ward. The bathrooms had clearly been updated a few years ago and were sparkling, well-stocked, and honestly better than a lot of big-name hotels we’ve stayed at. Housekeeping? Absolute legends. Friendly, cheerful, and definitely doing a great job. We saw a previous review bizarrely commenting on someone's race—seriously? If you're rating people based on their ethnicity instead of service, maybe you're the problem. Just saying. Check-in and check-out were smoother than a coastal breeze—grabbed our keys from the holder and dropped them in the box on the way out. No fuss, no queues, no awkward small talk. Each room had the usual tea, coffee, and creamer setup (though we didn’t use it, because we were too busy running around town and stuffing our faces). We had two rooms for our group, and everyone was pleasantly surprised—yes, even the picky one. And the location? Prime. A stone’s throw from the beach, shops, and food, without being right in the chaos. So yeah, don’t let the outside sca
