Hotels with Breakfast in San Remo

A great spot for a family visit to Phillip Island. We booked the 2 bedroom apartment. It had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. The kitchen has pots, plates, cutlery etc. so you can prepare meals if you need to. The apartment was on the lower level and would be great on a sunny day as it over looked the playground. The indoor pool was great on a rainy day. The beds are firm but we did like that they give you a selection of pillows.

Australian motels are very mature, there are parking spaces in front of each room, it is convenient to get things, the toiletries in the room are in addition to toothbrushes and toothpaste, the travel friends prepare their own brushing equipment, the room is clean, the microwave refrigerator has an electric kettle and simple tableware. You can simply cook or microwave heating yourself, but remember to check out before 10 o'clock in the morning, and throw the key into the mailbox at the door.

Very basic motel- not good enough even for that. I usually don't mind a basic motel, that is if everything works and it is comfortable. The heating didn't work properly and we struggled to keep the chill off the air in the room. The two beds in the room had one blanket each -winter you would think there would be more. In the cupboard there was only one spare blanket for one bed. The outside lights were on all night and the window coverings were unable to keep out the light, especially the window above the door. There was nothing to wash the dishes with even though the sign in the room advised you'd have to wash your dishes (BTW I don't have an issue with washing my dishes). I only booked this motel because there was nothing else available. Definitely would not stay here again.

We decided to visit the San Remo Hotel for dinner, The menu was diverse. I had braised ox cheek, with mashed potato and broccoli. The ox cheek was very tasty and very large. It has an Asian flavoring, in particular star anise. It was, to my mind, a little sweet but that was more than offset by my pint of lager, which was pleasantly bitter. My dining partner had a seniors meal. fish and chips, which was so large that I helped her finish her serve. It was a very substantial meal, and very enjoyable. The dining room was busy and the San Remo Hotel was one of the few eateries open on Monday evening.
