but could put it on the floor (assuming a small suitcase) and walk through the bedroom.

Also we didn’t feel quite secure as the door and stair case leading to our apartment was always unlocked.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment and I understand from reception that there are no 3 bedroom apartments downstairs so be prepared to take cases up stairs.

And it wasn't just the clothes: suitcases, plastic bags and even my headphones were smelly and needed tons of airing to rejuvenate.

but got bad vibes entering the glassed in stair case to 2nd floor.

It is messy and sometimes awkward to have to open your suitcase on the floor and live out of it at that level.

The staircase door opening towards the case just made the whole navigation there (with hands busy with suitcases) so much harder.

The service at arrival was friendly & professional & some great advice on where to eat.

Great place to stay as we travelled on a family road trip…kids loved the pool and the check-in staff were helpful and friendly.

All staff were very friendly and helpful.

We are very happy with overall experience while staying at the Quest Portland - very clean, good location and friendly staff.

A great stay with a friendly team from the manager to the front desk staff.

Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the apartment itself had most things I needed for a long stay.

The front office team are friendly and gave us great advice on dining locations.

I spoke to a couple of staff who all smiled and seemed very friendly.

The rooms were modern and well appointed and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

there is a my first option at Portland, Great facilities, friendly receptionists.

Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly and the rooms are clean and spacious.

Very happy with every thing about the Quest Portland, Nice friendly and helpful staff, great rooms, Short walk to town, good location and undercover parking.

This is an excellent apartment complex, close to the city centre with good facilities and friendly staff.

Easy to find, friendly staff, clean and comfortable.

More central lighting away from tv screen would improve the living area and extra hook for towel or  robe would be useful in bathroom.

For a 2 bedroom apartment, the living area, and kitchen was tiny.

The living space was a little small, very tight when you have 2 kids.

We found cobwebs in the living room area, a couple of dead insects and some empty chocolate wrappers left in the bedside draw.

but the living area is very small and whilst the website said that there are 2 lounges in the living area, this was not the case, there was one 2 seater and a chair beside the television and a table with 6 chairs behind the lounge.

although the tv in main living area is very small.

Living Room needs renovation as the nails underneath the carpet are coming through.

In comparison the living area was very small, with only a 2 seater dining table and lounge seating for three.

It was a dark room and the living area very small, particularly as it accommodates 4 people.

The living room's TV is on the smaller side of today's standards,

A couple of minor issues - for a two bedroom apartment another TV would have been good and also the living area was quite small in the apartment (220) we had.

Living area was cramped and laundry was shared with studio room next door which is not what I expected.

The only negative for this apartment was that the living room was quite small (unusual compared to other Quests).

The 'view' from the living area was of the enclosed outdoor area with basic table and chairs + concrete, with no outlook and the ambience of a garbage storage space.

The shared living area is on the smaller side of things (as testified by the inclusion of only two dining chairs and only a two seater sofa),

The room we were alocated ( after a direct booking & payment)2 weeks in advance was a dungeon.

Good location and plenty of self contain ammenities Easy to book and ease of checking Cleaniness  well maintained Prior checking before arrival and check out hassle free Prompt in invoicing with details .

The Quest Portland is near these landmarks: Chesterwood Books, Portland SCUBA, All Saints Roman Catholic Church, South West Adventures, Portlland Harbour Tours, Portland Harbour Tours, Lee Brakewater, Portland Powerhouse Motor and Car Museum, Portland Visitor Information Centre, Matthew Hunt Fishing Services, Henty Memorial, Portland Cable Trams, Portland Botanical Gardens, Whaler's Bluff Lighthouse, World War II Memorial Lookout, Graham Husson Fauna Park, Portland Golf Club, Portland Strawberries, Point Danger Gannet Colony, Cape Nelson State Park, Cape Nelson lighthouse, Cobboboonee Horse Riding, Seals by Sea Tours, Cape Discoveries and Great South West Walk

I enjoyed my stay had no trouble at all booking was easy check out was easy only cook utensils need to be better so we would find easier to cook and clean.

This apartment experience has made me want to book with Quest in other cities.

I would definitely consider it for my future bookings.

We booked a 2 bedroom deluxe and were happy with the whole experience.

overall was excellent experience recommend it and will book it again in future.

We will defenitely book again next time we are down that way.

I later cancelled my original booking online on her advice.

We have stayed here numerous times, booking a one bedroom apartment, and have usually been in an apartment down the side of the complex.

Do yourself a favor there are a lot of other nicer places in Portland with great customer service, book with the other providers

We booked for 4 nights and found our 1 Bedroom  apartment to be large and  comfortable, with plenty of light in living area and bedroom.

Our continental breakfast daily was included as I had booked direct with the hotel which was a nice surprise and much appreciated.

Would definitely stay here again and my advice would be to book in advance.

I was overall happy with my stay and would book again.

Great service and great apartment with everything you need to have a long or short stay.

service was excellent and location is really good near the beach and shops.

Our organisation is passionate about protecting our Borders and with your help providing the service you do, it goes a long way to helping us.

The service was very good for both the Stay and Training Room facilities.

Great service, clean apartment and great facilities.

Service at the front desk was quick and efficient.

I have always enjoyed staying here before with it being in a great position, friendly service and good amenities

Our company has used Quest Portland for years due to there friendly service and great value for money.

Thanks for the quick easy and efficient service.

Fantastic service and room was very clean!

Service at reception was polite, friendly and helpful.

Excellent service I will highly recommend quest apartments to family and friends for the helpfull staff and excellent job servicing of the apartment I for sure will be coming back Christmas  period  Linda

but as a team they all work exceptional well with their friendliness, hospitality skills and trouble shooting.

Amazing staff, any problems addressed immediately, we had a broken oven ,replaced with a new one next day, clean, quality bed and personal linen,  well positioned in a beautiful town!

The reception and cleaning staff were very helpful.

The Quest in Portland was fairly typical  and provided convenient and clean accommodation with all the facilities needed for a short stay.

Didn’t say anything to staff as it was for only two nights.

though furnished in a very spartan manner with some tired-looking pieces.

Very professional and approachable staff who go above and beyond.

The face washer, hand towel and floor mat were of average thickness, and the shower towels were the perfect size for me [usually, they are too small].

Room was tired, shower door leaked, room was not serviced at all over the two night stay, we had to request fresh towels and toilet paper and the rubbish was not emptied, container blocked our nominated car park

Only let down was the daily servicing of the rooms was non existent, the towels were changed once in 5 days.

There were not enough towel racks for the towels.

Always helped us when needed (needed a porta cot second night in, more towels and toilet paper).

but I still do not understand why we had to get towels and other items when the apartments are supposedly serviced. 8.

Executive apartment unclean 2 single beds pushed together for a Queen  Linen and bed making not acceptable very costly for second rate apartment .No allotted car parking we had to park our new car on the street every night .Patio etc full of cobwebs ,staff turned our air-conditioning off every day in 30 degree heat Shower unclean no Cleaning on Sundays so i went an asked for clean towels reception said we only have one we wanted to leave the first night

housekeeping needs a good shake up as dirty cups left and towels not replaced.

We tried a towel to no avail as it was to noisy.

Didn’t try the TV - they do have foxtel.

The place was great, and clean - just a shame that the man from reception wouldn't leave the TV remote - and we had to rely on the channels allocated to us by QUEST TV - and we couldn't watch free to air TV.

Despite checking all the settings the TV didn't work and continued to display no signal.

The tv's electronic program guide on the tv was hard to use and next to useless.

The tv or DVD player could use the ability to plug hard drives into.

Kettle on the small cabinet with the TV so no space to prepare my own breakfast.

Very neat and tidy rooms with plenty of space, TV could have been a little larger, pillows were very uncomfortable

Worst accommodation, could not utilise the lounge when there is only 1 small two seater sofa, to get comfortable had to lay on the bed to watch TV, which in itself caused problems as it was a open bathroom - bedroom combo going on if someone had to use the toilet the rest had to leave as no privacy.

but it let us connect our own equipment to its HDMI input instead of forcing us to pay for Quest's own stuff.

Things that could have made it better: Robes and slippers; wifi that worked properly - ours was overly complex to access and slow, ended up using my own connection; better lighting in the bathroom, it was too gloomy to put make up on; better attention to dusting the tv unit, dvd player and coffee table, I don't think they'd been dusted for a while.

The 2 bedroom apartment only had one TV as well.

but the unit was not as user friendly as expected, and strange lights emitted from the TV which only went away when we turned the unit off at the mains.

Apartment clean and a short walk from the main shopping precinct.

It was also pleasant to be able to walk to waterfront and eateries.

The location is amazing and you are able to walk into town very easily

Property is in a good position, a short walk to shops and a number of places to eat.

but only a short walk to the shops and cafes and all pretty easy to stay here.

Close to the ocean, walking distance, maybe 5 minute walk or so.

The location is great, a short walk to the main street and waterfront, and it's easy to find.

The location is excellent, a close walk to shops, restaurants and cafes.

I will be definitely staying at the quest apartments when we go back.Nice walk down to the breakwater.

Right in the city center and you can walk to a great coffee place and amazing sourdough bakery.

The location is perfect - adjacent to the town centre and an easy walk to a large selection of restaurants, cafe's and take-aways, as well as to (at least) two supermarkets.

All over the room & property was very good, location to the town we liked, it was a short walk to the town and pubs for dinner .

Conveniently close for walking to the main street, cafes and pubs for meals.

It's a short walk to waterfront pubs and cafes, also to supermarkets and shops.

Great location, walked to dinner every night.

Great location and easy to walk to everything in town.

Quick walk easy walk into town for dinner.

Apartment clean and well presented, all facilities in good working order, centrally located within 5 mins walk to shops, bars & cafes.

Bar sized fridge is very noisy, either turn it right down or off if you stay here as it will bother most people I think.

Lounge chairs, bar stools so no need to sit on the bed.

Leading in to the City of Portland on the main road, you find this absolutely amazing, friendly, warm, inviting, comfortable and fantastically placed Motel.

Great value for money and very friendly, professional staff.

Welcoming, friendly service and a warm feeling from this motel.

The manager was friendly and room was spotless.

Owner and staff were super friendly, particularly when I lost my keys and had to leave my car in the motel room space past checkout time!

The location was great, the facilities excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.

The manager on check in was real friendly and suggested a fantastic pub for dinner.

Reception staff are always really friendly and check in is quick!

Great little motel, clean and tidy, comfortable bed, large  room and bathroom, great beer garden and BBQ area, quite, great value, close to town, friendly owner we loved it that much we decided to stay and extra night, even got a discount for the extra night without having to ask for it.

We were greeted in a very positive and friendly manner.

Extremely clean and well maintained budget motel with friendly greeting on arrival.

Greeted by a friendly informative owner who gave us a great place for dinner.

Aaron was helpful and friendly both over the phone( numerous times while organising the weekend) and once we arrived.

Really friendly service and just a short walk to the beach and main shops.

Friendly reception and room was freshly presented with all that we needed and at a most affordable rate.

After staying at more expensive motels on my driving holiday this motel was basic

Because it was public holiday there was no breakfast

That was the only strange and weird thing that happened and I woke up thinking that someone was trying to break in!

All of us agreed we would happily book again.

I wasn’t surprised when the manager told me they were fully booked out

Word of advice book direct with the hotel their rates are way better than any booking sight take it from someone who learned the hard way

The Mariner Motel is near these landmarks: Whaler's Bluff Lighthouse, World War II Memorial Lookout, Portland Visitor Information Centre, Matthew Hunt Fishing Services, All Saints Roman Catholic Church, Chesterwood Books, Portlland Harbour Tours, Portland Harbour Tours, Lee Brakewater, Portland SCUBA, South West Adventures, Portland Powerhouse Motor and Car Museum, Graham Husson Fauna Park, Henty Memorial, Portland Botanical Gardens, Portland Cable Trams, Portland Golf Club, Portland Strawberries, Point Danger Gannet Colony, Cobboboonee Horse Riding, Cape Nelson State Park, Cape Nelson lighthouse, Cape Discoveries, Seals by Sea Tours and Great South West Walk

After me messing up the booking date we were cheerfully accommadated at short notice seamlessly.

Visiting Portland for a basketball tournament and booked the Mariner - what a great stay.

I booked the motel because of its great reviews and it deserves them.

Booked my room for a night's stay at the Mariner online, ensuring I got it under $90, so off to a good start price-wise.

The host was great, he went out of his way to book us in to a restaurant.

Each time we brought visitors with us and booked two rooms.

Welcoming and efficient check in after an easy web booking.

For no other reason than to experience another venue closer to town we booked online at the Mariner for a similar cost.

We booked this Motel online for a nights stay after driving the Great Ocean Road and before heading to Adelaide.

Booked two rooms as we (couple) were travelling with a friend from UK.

Had unplanned trip to Portland, selected motel off the web and booked online.

though we booked through a booking site we were sent and email from the owner prior and after our stay, welcoming us and then thanking us for staying.

Booked on Hotels.com and were very surprised.

I was greeted by a lovely warm friendly lady that booked my room for me.

Took a chance & called in to book a room, mentioned my dog, and was very surprised.

We enjoyed very cheerful, polite service from an obviously passionate team of management and staff.

A wonderful little motel run by a very pleasant and obliging owner.

Big, recently refurbished rooms with comfy beds and very helpful staff.

Staff were accommodating to making sure we had a comfortable stay and had our requests met.

I didn’t need to interact much with the staff because everything was so handy

My wife was extremely impressed as she is Spanish and the owner could talk in Spanish.

Another unexpected bonus was that the tv has Netflix and Stan etc already installed.

Rooms are modern and contain all the usual comforts (aircon, TV etc), and I regularly make use of the BBQ area.

I was also impressed by the fact that it had a smart TV with YouTube and Netflix.

Has everything we needed including Netflix to chill at nighttime.

There was fast Wifi and a large TV if you like that.

Netflix was a bonus while I waited for my son for the day.

Can relax and watch your favourites on Netflix.

Our room was immaculate, comfotable beds, modern renovated bathroom Exceptional value for money.Everything available,kettle toaster,microwave,crockery,cutlery, wine glasses milk tea cofee sugar etc
TV program selection good and overal comfort amazing.

There was a TV, free wifi, lounge seating, and patio area.

And a smart TV with Netflix was especially appreciated.

Has Netflix and you can walk a few blocks to the beach and park.

Well layed out and has Netflix which is nice.

Clean rooms, comfy beds and pillows, carpark at the door, plenty of room in the bathroom, free wifi, TV that accomodates DVDs, tea and coffee facilities, toaster, microwave, what more could one want?

The facilities are basic with the usual coffee making equipment, a microwave, fridge and a tv.

Had two chairs and foot stools, so watching tv was comfortable, even had biscuits with your cuppa.

The Standard double room was very large, clean and had a tv.

Was able to walk to restaurants and shops.

but a pleasant surprise upon entering our fully renovated room with a beautiful large bathroom and walk in shower, the room had plenty of space and two very comfy tub chairs with footstools, crockery, cutlery, toaster, microwave and a beautiful garden area to sit and relax while cooking a bbq.

Good location and not too far to walk to beach and local pub and shops.

It was close enough to the town centre to walk, which we did one evening gor dinner.

Short walk to lots of pubs and resturants

Just on the outskirts of the CBD area of Portland, about a 15-20 min walk into town.

Our favourite walk is at Cape Bridgewater -the cliff walk to the seal colony.

We walked into town for dinner each night a pleasant 10min walk.

The BBQ area is beautiful and just a short walk to 3 takeaway food outlets.

This Motel is nice and close to the shopping precinct of Portland with either a 2 minute drive or a 10 minute walk away.

This motel is indeed a little gem, a few minutes drive / walk to the town center, quiet and peaceful.

Walk to get a choice of meals and view Portland's historic buildings or eat at the hotel.

This is a great little motel in a good location close to waterfront (short walk) and town.

This made our last days walk a lot easier as it was 21 kms, to walk to Portland.

The motel is about a 1km from the centre of town or an easy ten minute walk, if you need supplies there is a petrol station just up the road which has everything you need.

Mariner Motel

holiday trip

There was mold, spiders, cobwebs, dirt in the bunk bed, and our daughter woke up one morning to find her bunk covered in ants!!

I suggest giving the cabins a big miss though, they were dearer than a motel down the road, had no air conditioning and the one we were given was alive with an ants nest, kitchen facilities were very basic, and the bunks for the kids in the hallway opposite the bathroom.

After camping for some time we were looking forward to staying in an onsite cabin only to check in and find it still dirty and full of ants.

Situated alongside the bay, the views are spectacular.

but more than enough side room for the sunshade, 

Short walk down stairs to a lively quiet and dog friendly beach.
