Very convenient. We can park the car just outside of our room. Staff was so-so. Room was tidy and clean. A shame that they don’t provide shower gel.

Great location, room and staff!
The rooms were very well appointed, the motel included all expected amenities, and the staff were very friendly. The location was outstanding, including ample parking, and a kid's playground.

Rooms and property were very clean; it's obvious the owners take a lot of pride in their lodgings. Right near center of town and beach, everything within walking distance. Will definitely go back whenever I return to the area!

On my arrival late in the day it was wonderful to enter a warm and cosy studio. After whale watching in the very cold conditions at Cape Woolamai in the afternoon I was happily surprised the heating was already on. The King Studio was comfortable, well equipped, clean, quiet and conveniently located only 400m stroll from the Cowes shopping strip.
