6/10 Good

False advertising
My room ended up being in an old trailer , very musty smelling. Rest of the property was fine but no indication this was where I would be staying.. Definitely should not be rented out. I tried to find other accommodation in Picton but there was none available.

Nice place!
We had a great stay at Tombstone Motel. We arrived in Picton by ferry pretty late but the Motel was easy to find and only a short walk from ferry terminal and town. Our family room was neat and clean and beds were comfortable. Check-in after hours was super easy and the freshly baked scones for breakfast was a nice touch. Highly recommend
