Great
CCatcatdogdogI drove north from Sydney to visit The entrance, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the lake mouth. At the same time, I won the grand prize for the third time in a month by booking a hotel on Ctrip. It was a super grand prize. As shown in the picture, the first three pictures are the interior of the room, and pictures 4-6 are the unbeatable sea view of the room balcony. It is a great experience to fall asleep in the roar of waves at such a close distance. The sister at the front desk is very friendly, the room is spotless, and the key is that there is no damp smell that is usually found in seaside hotels. The hotel has convenient parking. Picture 8 is the parking lot in the yard at the entrance. There is a discount if you go again within 12 months. The sister at the front desk is very friendly. The town as a whole has a good a**osphere for Asians. It is the best in this month's trip to Australia. I strongly recommend staying in The entrance and visiting this hotel.
GGuest UserRoom is clean, plenty of parking and location is good, close to most attractions. The issue we had is a couple of the lights in the room didn't work, wifi's pretty slow but overall not a hassle for us as we only stayed for 1 night.
GGuest UserVery happy with our booking and subsequent stay we had at the Bucaneer Motel at Long Jetty. Friendly service upon check in and the room was perfect. It came with all we needed for our short stay minus the unnecessary razzle dazzle. It was clean , tidy and cozy. Location was great too , close to a big park and the pelicans. 👍
GGuest UserRoyal Hotel was good
Bed was super comfortable
Being on the highway, you heard very little street noise or noise from the bar downstairs
Only 2 complaints
1 the milk in the little containers for tea and coffee need refrigerating (they were off)
2 a bit more attention to bathroom cleaning. Dead Flys and spider webs around windows and little spots of mould on the ceiling.
GGuest UserCute out of the way hotel. Our room had lovely view of the river and parkland. Beds were clean and comfortable. Parking was convenient at right outside our room. Kitchenette was very small but was well
Stocked. A bit hard to manage with kettle and toaster at breakfast- could only accomodate one at a time, but everything was clean. Had to use bathroom sink to clean cups and plates as there is no sink. Bathroom is clean, sink only slightly stained from doing double duty as kitchen sink. Staff were helpful and friendly, checkin was very easy.
邱邱The room is clean and tidy, there is free parking, breakfast with bread, milk and juice, etc. It is about 500 meters to the Great Lake, and it is very close. There are three long boardwalks over the Great Lake. Watching the sunset is a good place.
GGuest UserThere were solar panels installed right behind the cabin and building works for more cabins going on just passed them, however, this was not difficult to accept and the bush scene beyond these was lovely. The walks nearby are excellent and shops and facilities were close at hand. The pool looked amazing but was too cold for me on my trip. The staff were very accommodating and the cabin itself was very comfortable.
SShane WallI booked here at the last minute because I couldn’t get a room in one of the more ‘high end’ hotels.
Yes it’s old, yes it’s quite run down. It was clean though and the location was great. It also has a really beautiful pool. I spent the previous night in one of those high end motels and hated it - the bed at El Lago was so much more comfortable and the AC was freezing cold (which I wanted).
Overall I’d say if you aren’t fussy on the looks it’s worth staying there.
