"Amazing location and complex!"

Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

8/10 Good

"Nice large room. Beds were comfortable. I wasn't too keen showering with a cockroach. Being a motel cleaner and my sister a motel owner, my expectations of cleanliness maybe high. Moved a chair in the kitchen and the floor was covered in crumbs. Suggest to lift mats when vacuuming and occasionally vacuum under the beds. Can't complain about the price though. Good wifi, no sky. I happily stay again."
