It was unfortunate the person on duty was too busy to talk or welcome us. She may have had an off day

I have stayed here before, its a good location for traveling the island between centers, just out of town. The downside is the volume of heavy trucks on the main road outside late at night. Reasonably priced and same standards as most other motels for the price. There is a good restaurant close by for dinner, good menue and a welcoming roaring fire, in winter.

Lots of road noise, curtains were not able to darken room as the lights were so bright outside room. Bed was only a double, partners movement transferred through mattress making sleeping not restful

It is a queen bed which is why we use queen size sheets, bedspreads, boxed quilts, etc. Lights get turned off at 10PM and in case you did not read the description as to where we are, we are along state highway 1. Take care.

Lovely, friendly hostess greeted us upon arrival, gave us the key and showed us our room. The location is very handy to all amenities, 2 minutes drive to the local shopping centre, nice restaurants, New World for snacks and drinks, right on State highway 1 for easy access. Cleanliness is tops, bed very comfortable, compliments to the hosts and we shall return soon.

Clean unit with everything you need, although a little dated. Very accommodating for a late check in. Would like a bed side on both sides of double bed as nowhere to put my water, phone and bits. Unfortunately it is bang on State Highway 1 with rail track too which is not ideal for a good nights sleep.

The Coachman is handy to town & although older style, it is comfortable & fine for a one night stopover. The receptionist was very helpful & we loved that she had warmed our room. Although on a busy highway, the traffic noise is minimal.

Thank you for choosing to book with us though it's amazing how one would complain after booking a motel located along State Highway 1. Saying noisy trucks is also a bit of an exaggeration since they are not blowing their horns or blasting their music. They are just passing. Cheers.
