The pool was really nice, the rooms were really dated and not so nice! The pet friendly rooms are across the street from the pool so that was kind of a bummer! My niece enjoyed the pool so all and all it was a win!

Rooms were clean. They did not have daily maid service. Had to get what was needed from front desk. Room had a gas fireplace, small balcony for sitting out on to watch traffic, or in our case, new years 2025 fireworks. The room had a nice shower/tub, very clean. They had a small dorm style fridge, yet NO MICROWAVE in room. Nearest microwave was down in the lobby. Bed was LARGE, but could make use with a pillow topper as it was rather firm, stiff, unforgiving..Trolly stopped in front of motel area. Easy transportation to downtown shopping area and aquarium. Sydney James motel had an indoor and outdoor pool area. Towels were provided. Indoor pool was over run with poorly behaved children. This was the fault of free range parents, not the motel. This was at 7 to 1030 pm. Motel had a hot tub. Specifically stated ADULTS ONLY, yet free range parents thought the children should have use of this adult sanctuary of relaxation. Motel did nothing to enforce their rules. No breakfast provided. Small, professionally run snack bar right outside of pool area. Open 7am to 10pm. Good food. Standard breakfast fare. Pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, jelly, french toast. Then lunch was selection of hot dogs, burgers, and various sandwiches. Evening they had a few plate dinners. Several quick heat and eat type desserts. Other than enforcing the adult only hot tub rule, the staff was friendly and helpful.

Amazing relaxing getaway

My husband and I were looking for a nice pre holiday getaway with a calming water feature and this place hit the spot! The creek was so calming and the bed was very comfortable. Only complaint was the shower water pressure could be better. We loved it so much we have already booked another stay for my birthday.

Older and some issues

Hotel is definitely older, but very clean and very friendly staff. We had a none working Tv in the room and it took 2 calls to the front desk before anyone fixed it. We went to the cafe at around 8:30 pm to get food, and it was EXTREMELY overpriced and tasted awful. We paid $50 for a Philly and a quesadilla with 2 cokes! The Philly was on really greasy Texas toast with onions and peppers that tasted like they had gone bad. The meat in the quesadilla was overcooked and hard. We ended up throwing the food away and going to bed hungry. It’s a quaint old hotel and I loved the creek behind us. Too bad our view was a parking lot. We won’t be staying there again.
