Couldn’t get closer to Port Arthur historic site
Great facility right on the port Arthur historic site, so you could see the ruins from the restaurant and access the site from the grounds. Restaurant food was terrific. An older motel, but still had everything you needed and clean and comfortable.

Loved the location and the view over Port Arthur from our balcony was outstanding. The motel was well appointed and has a restaurant if needed.
Everything was clean and welcoming access and parking were easy.

Even though the motel was a bit dated, it was clean and comfortable. The dining area was amazing with beautiful views across the Port Arthur site. The food at the restaurant was first class and most enjoyable. It was good to be able to have breakfast there as well. Great to be so close after a big afternoon exploring the historic site.

The motel was close to the Historic site and a short walking distance from the public bus stop.
It was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
