Clean and basic accommodation with a comfy enough bed. Having a bar and restaurant on site was great though, with a huge meal being a bonus. Super handy being right on the doorstep of Port Arthur, which was within a 5minute walk Great

I liked that it was so close to the Port Arthur Historic Site. The staff were friendly and helpful. The dinner in the restaurant was really good. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. We paid $12 and only got 2 slices of toast. Very limited cereal selection and no hot food.

General maintenance around common areas is lacking, with a bit of TLC would make a world of difference,as the location is great. Rooms were very tired,but were clean. Parking for larger suv's was tight. Meals were great,and staff although under the pump were fantastic.
