Pros:

Great little spot . Bar and restaurant are excellent. Rom was clean and comfortable. Just a basic room, but if you put all day and just need a clean bed and bathroom then this is a great spot. Walking distance to everything you need.

Pros:

for a cheap motel i guess you get what you get, however if you’re a person who needs things to be clean and comfortable, this place doesn’t really check those boxes

Pros:

This place is at the end of the Earth, and it shows. Tiny, shabby rooms, inattentive staff (who admittedly also act as bartenders), and, worst of all, very flaky and unreliable WiFi Internet.

Pros:

We stayed here overnight on our way to Exmouth. We were a bit concerned as to how cheap the room was but we were pleasantly surprised. The room had the basics, it was clean and did the job. The staff were amazing, we had dinner in the shark bay hotel and the food was amazing.
Highly recommend

Pros:

The room was nice but hadnt been used in a while so the bathroom was a bit dusty. Everything worked well and the bedding was clean. The location is great, very central in town.

Pros:

Had to wait until nearly 3pm as apparently busy (I only saw one other person at the bar) then told me I was only staying for 1 night but I’d booked and paid for 2. Then I ordered dinner vegetable moussaka which was cold and had to go back to be put in the microwave and heated up!
Rooms basic and need a re fresh.

Pros:

It's fine for a couple of days. Hotel is in front of the beach, has parking included. Room with fan and everything you need for your stay. I would have liked them to have explained the services to us. We never knew if breakfast was included and if it had wifi. but in general everything is ok

Pros:

I think this place is the worst ive ever stayed in .
The rooms are cold being exsposed brick. No heating in the rooms ,however there is a air con ....in the bathroom ! There is also a very small step down into the bathroom you do not see ,i fell down it and tripped over it a few times. Cobwebs throughout...and cleaners do not look up ...everything dusty. Rooms smell old
Cooks that live there were drunk.
Cigarette butts in every garden bed and plant pot
Not some were i would stay again.

Pros:

Firstly, the hotel is in a bar. Secondly, Sadly when we arrived they did not have our booking, then they gave us a room, we went out after check in and then they left a note saying the room was already booked and we’d have to move. Also, the booking said breakfast included, but for our surprise it was a room just with 2 boxes of cereal, a bag a apples and a dirty box of milk. Also, on the night 2, outside the room there were people drinking and making noise until very late. We paid $200 for 2 nights, so it wasn’t the most expensive hotel and we were expecting more but we had paid the same price before for something actually good.

Pros:

This is an older hotel but clean and cared for. Staff live in the hotel and one of them plays really loud music occasionally which can be quite annoying. Why managers do not stop this practice is beyond me !!! It was annoying enough that I will not return to stay there. Other than that fellow the staff were friendly and attentive

Rooms are fairly small. The room that we had was in need of maintenance. Denham had more options for eating and shopping than MM

Pros:

Located in the heart of town, pleasant stay, great bakery down the road, what a great part of the world! Don’t check-in when they are busy though! Not a great start to what should have been a very nice stay.
