The room was very dated but clean. Adequate for a couple of nights stay. Can't make own food in room so have to eat out. Excellent location for Port Arthur historical site, can have a key to get in the 'back' gate and walk there.

This was a convenient stop over. Staff in the bar were a little biased towards the locals as opposed to visitors, but that may have only been on that night. The lady was covering many areas as well.

Water pressure was bad, I had to turn the hot on full and cold off to get some heat and pressure for a shower. Bathroom was dirty with long hairs on dust on walls. Probably been wiped with someone’s towels. There was no hand wash in dispenser do we used shower wash instead.

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.

Couldn’t get closer to Port Arthur historic site
Great facility right on the port Arthur historic site, so you could see the ruins from the restaurant and access the site from the grounds. Restaurant food was terrific. An older motel, but still had everything you needed and clean and comfortable.
