Manly Paradise Motel & Apartments

Great location steps away from the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Rooms wew clean and functional. Bathrooms are a little snall, but everything worked as needed. Great value for the price.

Great location. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Rooms are nice and clean with a great view to the beach but the toilet did not have a lock, wish the showers were separated by something more solid than a shower curtain but appreciated the stay nonetheless.

Upon arrival the receptionist answered a phone call after I had walked through the entrance, she was the only staff member working and I had to wait 10 minutes until she had finished the call.A few days before we were due to stay at the Motel we decided to message them via booking.com to ask if they had any parking available. We received a reply that confirmed parking was available free of charge. Whilst we were checking in we were told that we had to pay an additional $25 for parking, even though we had made prior arrangements. I showed the receptionist the message and then was told that the message I received was incorrect as it was sent through booking.com not directly from the hotel. The receptionist was extremely rude and very unhelpful and didn't even explain where any of the Motel facilities were located.After paying additional money for the parking we were told that our room was ready and we had been given an upgrade.... perfect! So we walked up the stairs to our room however there were still 2 maids in there cleaning in there, also this room was not an upgrade! We booked an Ocean view and all we could see was the road.We then walked back down to reception to inform the receptionist that the room wasn't ready, it wasn't the room we'd booked, and it certainly was not an upgrade! She proceeded to tell us that we didn't book an Ocean view so I showed our booking on my phone which stated 'OCEAN VIEW!' After complaining (great start to our holiday) she reluctantly moved us to a new room which had a sea view if you looked around the corner of the window, and by this point we just settled for this as it seemed like we were fighting a loosing battle! The room itself was very small and it was completely different to the rooms pictured online & not very clean.Overall we feel that this Motel is falsely advertised online, it looks absolutely nothing like it does in the photos. The Motel should not advertise through booking.com as we encountered many issues with our booking.

Needs a refresh looking dated , management need to spend $$ on re doing plants on the balconies for a start .

3 1/2 Stars. Evertlything was good. Staff very friendly. Close to everything. Great ocean view. Room was nice. Concerns.. 1. Cleaner knocked on our door at 9:50am to clean when checkout was 10am. 2. There was no parking for cars within the building. 3. Shower was bad..3-4 minute wait for hot water. When it did come the water pressure was very low. Did not enjoy my shower.

Make sure you book the right roomsThe smaller rooms are for 1 or 2 night stays, not longer term as there is limited space, no wardrobes and a very small bathroom

Absolut beach frontage. We stayed on the sixth floor and the elevator was out of service, nothing the staff could do about that and they did offer us a room down lower, but we wanted the view. great workout. Manly beach was amazing to wake up to. Far better than some over priced accommodation on the Gold Coast. Will be back.

Nice and clean. Very close to main street. Thin walls. Can hear people next door. But all good

Great room and very friendly staff. Thanks

A small motel positioned in the corner with rooms having slanted view of the beach. Very basic. But if you just want to stay near Manly beach this one will do. Room size is alright and rooms are clean
