My husband and I stayed here for one night just before going out on a cruise that left from Airlie Beach. I would say that it is rated correctly 2 to 2 1/2 stars. It is an older 2 story motel type place, definitely on the basic side, but clean and certainly adequate for a night's stay. The room was surprisingly large and so was the bathroom.but as I said, definitely on the basic side. There was a stall shower, no tub, but thats always okay with me. They did have a hair dryer. There was good air conditioning and a small balcony off the room. There was a small rock pool that looked nice, and a small restaurant on the premises that was okay for a fast breakfast. They did have a laundry room for guests to use...($* to wash $* to dry). The staff was friendly. This place is not right in Airlie Beach, but is maybe a good 10 to 15 minute walk into the town itself. However, there are taxis around. Airlie Beach is like 3 blocks long, rife with tourist shops, fast food and tour operators. So staying right in the center of that might not be any too great either. There is a beautiful Marina which has all sorts of cruises leaving all the time, and that is really the draw for Airlie Beach.
