My stay was adequate but found it to be quite noisy with thin walls so could hear guests in the bathroom above me. The receptionist was not overly friendly so first impression wasn’t a positive one. The motel room itself was comfortable but was surprised there was no milk offered for the first couple of hot drinks which is usual practice in accommodation.

A very typical dated and tired motel. We stayed for 3 nights (1 adult 4 children) and the room was very small. The staff were friendly but you could tell the business owners weren’t prepared to spend any coin on finishing touches - even basics like more than 2 hangers for clothing or a sharp knife in the kitchen. Bathroom door kept jamming closed. It was ok. Staff were nice. I wouldn’t stay there

Value for money courtesy of staff person parked behind d me left note to contact if needed to get car out. what we had expected from our booking. Comfy beds cosy with heater when needed. Really like parking this was great to have so close to central city at no extra cost. Had to run shower a long time to get hot water. Concerned this was a waste of water.

No Milk Again

They need to ensure milk is in each unit before the people check in. To say their is no milk is unacceptable. That has happened twice now.
