Online, it showed a nice swimming which was misleading because the pool was empty and overgrown. The rooms showed very nice rooms but were different once we got there. Or on average, it was okay wouldn’t rush back

I believe the management honestly were trying to keep the property clean and respectable and within a price range for locals to seek safe shelter. Not really appropriate for out of towners seeking cheap accommodation. But I congratulate them for their efforts.

Do Not Stay Here
Do not stay here. I checked in and the room had a terrible smell. Long term residents clearly stayed here. An ambulance was attending the neighbor to my right, Ripped flyscreen's and a fridge outside to my left. Couldn't lock the screen door. Felt unsafe and left immediately. Lost my money but didn't care.

A tired property with just the basics needed. Bed and shower were ok, was pleased to have the microwave, but needed to request water glasses, and used own teaspoons.

The room was not serviced for the second day (bins emptied, room tidies and vacuumed etc). There was no toilet paper, tea spoons for coffeeand a very small bathroom basin. But the room was clean and the price probably appropriate.

Ocean Crest Motel was adequate and you get what you pay for. It was neither a hot nor cold night, but the guests either side had their air conditioning units on, which were noisy. However, the bed was comfortable, but the tv didn't work.

The unattended reception sign on the front door was confusing. We left twice believing there was no one there to allow us entry. The owner had been there all along. He did however upgrade us for the inconvenience.

The property was very clean, looked like it had been recently painted. It had crockery and cutlery as advertised, plus a microwave which most motels don't have. Plenty of water in the shower, temperature was fine. Curtains and blinds blocked out early morning light and it was away from the main road so no road noise. Bed was comfortable. Hand basin in bathroom is very small to wash up any plates, however we only used bowls for breakfast. We were out for other meals. It suited us as we were out pretty much the whole day, just needed a place to sleep and shower. The area has so many nice cafe's it's tempting to eat out for breakfast too, which we did on our second day.

The rooms were clean and tidy. The bathroom was so small i struggled to open the shower door and couldnt even use the basin to wash my face as there wasnt enough room. The hot water came and went so if you like a cold shower than this is your place. The reception was unmanned even at check in time. I felt like an intrusion.

Very comfortable bed, room was nicely decorated, very compact, and clean, space was utilised well with microwave and self catering available. Lighting was not good for reading. Reasonably priced in comparison to other places in the area. Looked a little tired with cobweb removal needed on the outside.
