3/5 - Okay
Verified traveller
The church was closed to the public for a booked wedding. New monolith observatory on the lakefront has destroyed the view of the lake.

8/10 Very Good! (463 reviews)
Convenient too the city centre.
The pictures were deceiving and it was a lot more dated than we realized.
The shower was only chest high which was inconvenient but fine if your short i guess.
Staff were friendly.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (140 reviews)
The staff were wonderful and so accommodating. The motel is spotlessly clean and equiped with all the amenities as well as extras like chocs on the bed. Serviced daily if required. Spacious and comfortable. Definitely one of the best we have stayed in. Will absolutely be back.
