Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Torquay Hotel/Motel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the hotel's convenient location, which allows easy access to the town and promenade. The spacious rooms often feature appealing elements like Bali-style ceilings and renovated bathrooms; many also have a private picnic table in a grassed area right outside. While most found the experience positive, some guests have occasionally mentioned noise from the beer garden affecting their sleep. the hotel is considered good value, especially given its allocated parking directly in front of each room.

The allocated parking right outside the room was great. the location is convenient and close to some nice restaurants. the beach is nearby.
the upkeep to the outside area seemed minimal, which did not encourage use of it, but this did not affect our one-night stay.

convenient stay near the beach

great locationclose roomgreat facilitiesdelicious food
The location is great. it is one block to the beach and includes great facilities. check in was easy and checkout too. i was there to watch a band, so having a room close by was very handy. i also appreciated the delicious food at the restaurant. It was a bonus.
The music from the pub played until midnight. it was quite loud in the room, so i used toilet paper in my ears. it helped dull the noise a bit, but it was still noticeable and a little annoying. I didn't expect that.
