Colonial Palms Motor Inn

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

8/10 Good
"We had an enjoyable stay at CPMI. Highlights would be the helpful and welcoming staff, access to the two (small-ish) lagoon pools and a great breakfast. The room was quite basic, had some marks on the walls and only one easily accessible plug socket. However it was very clean on arrival and it was great to have the facilities to make tea and coffee, and access to a fridge and microwave. It is at least a 10 min walk into town, but this meant that it wasn’t too loud, which was nice. Many your experiences offer a free pick up from the hotel too, which is handy"
