Always really friendly at check-in & check-out, with real blue milk! Was so nice to drop in at lunchtime to a freshly serviced room on my 2nd day staying there. When I got in at the end of the day the heat-pump had been turned on and the windows closed to prepare my room to be nice and cosy, on a very stormy night of rainy weather.
Kitchenette with modern appliances including microwave. Comfortable bed with nice pillows and linen. Modern bathroom. Only slight problem is the crazy shower heads, would do well to update them to modern spray nozzle shower heads on cords so they are height adjustable. Will always choose to stay here unless its booked out with no vacancies!

Room tip: I prefer upstairs and rooms 22-20 not facing the coast/ocean.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Here at The Dawson Motel we like to make sure our guests have a comfortable stay, and nothing is better than a warm room on a cold night! We will look into the shower heads, however we do have a few rooms with the adjustable showerheads so if this is a preference, just let us know, and we can ensure you are in one of those rooms for your next stay!

We hope to see you again.

Kind Regards,
Barb and Lloyd

Rooms very well maintained, clean, nice bath and shower. Location great for walking into town for restaurants etc. I found the road noise a little irritating (but am sensitive to traffic noise) - but if one shuts the windows, all is fine (and good quality aircon inside). And they have their own parking lot.
