This motel is on the backdoor of the Port Arthur site. Although the rooms are dated, they are very clean and roomy. There is direct access to the historic site, a friendly local bar and a choice of meals and locations - in the dining room or in the bar. Some rooms overlook the site and have a balcony, where you can sit and take in the beautiful site. There is also on-site parking and is close to other attractions in the area.
