Parking area was very tight. Great area with restaurants close by and staff were lovely. Very dirty room, from splatter marks all over the walls, dust everywhere and feet went black from walking barefoot on the carpet.

Stayed 3 nights and was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable our stay was. Room was basic: bed, shower, small tv, jug and microwave. But it was sufficient and affordable. Wifi worked fine except last night of stay so tv came and went but motel was full. Parking was good round back. Dated and old but clean. Staff were helpful and friendly.

It is a three star motel. I do not expect brand new. I do expect cleanliness, courteous helpful staff, and everything working as it should in the bathroom and kitchen. I was not disappointed. The seats and bed were very comfortable. Excellent.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom room. There were enough beds. We were only able to fill the bathtub with hot water once. The second time, I didn't have enough hot water, so I had to take a shower instead. Hand washing facilities in the main bedroom were prohibited. I am satisfied because the cost performance is very good. The staff were also kind and friendly.

We stayed at the property for two nights and were extremely pleased with our experience. The lounge and bedroom were both spacious and comfortable, making it easy to relax during our stay. Everything met our expectations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book here again in the future.
