Pros: The location is the best part of this place, across the street from the beach and walking distance to the restaurants. The room was very simple but comfy enough and clean. Staff was very friendly. Con: Booked through Expedia because it is advertised there that there's a pool on the property (there's even a photo of the said pool). I chose this property mainly for that reason, since we have a young child that obviously loves a pool. But there's no pool and the hotel refused to give any refund due to FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Expedia was helpful and at least provided a few point for compensation. Wifi wasn't working

I would like to write a fair review. The motel is nice and clean. Staff are lovely and location is wonderful. BUT it is super noisy. There is no way you can get a decent sleep there. Read google reviews. I'm surprised no one mentioned it here. Because the motel is located close to the beach which is a very popular part of town, you can imagine how noisy would that place be. If you are a light sleeper like me and you need to book somewhere to rest and relax, I don't recommend this place. If you have no problem with noise then go ahead and enjoy it

The location was great. The checkin staff were great. Sleep was non existing due to surrounding noise. We checked out after one night and cut our stay short. Would not bother staying again. Very disappointed

Nice and friendly little motel in the best location possible. Across the road to the beach, right next door to the pub, and adjacent the best foodie lane in Byron. Good value.

Fantastic location! Can’t get any better- literally 60 steps to the beach! Staff were very friendly and helpful- especially helping with car parking as we had boards and a ski on roof- they made sure we felt secure and offered alternative parking if we didn’t. Room had a little kitchenette which was so good. Bed was comfortable, it’s an older motel but they have updated it so feels fresh and modern. Will definitely book again
