Friendly welcoming reception upon arrival. Comfortable queen sized bed, small room, basic needs provided Bathroom sink very small, non adjustable spout and no room to wash face, without head butting the water spout. Thin window curtain so some people may question privacy. Morning light came quite early as a result. Road/truck traffic may be an issue depending on day of week. Overall, a decent stay aside of the above!

Overall a decent place my family stayed in while visiting in the area. The staff was friendly and polite. Place provided basic things we needed and I loved that they have heated blankets although we didn't get to use them as it wasn't that cold. I'm sure they'd be very helpful during winter. I also loved that each guest was provided with 2 pillows each and the bed and pillows were comfortable. Could do better with cleaning like the bathroom had some stains on the wall. Also there weren't enough parking spaces for all guests so we had to park at the other building. Would stay here again next time.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Very long hair in the ONLY sink in the unit. The bathroom and toilet (combined) was so tiny and cramped you had to walk into the shower to close the door. The step up to the bathroom and the steel bar in the shower entrance were awkward to manage for those not totally mobile. Car parks need resealing. And BTW there is no receptionists available after 8om if you ring them.

Bring Earplugs

Just needed a nice little motel for the night. 60s style which has been renovated except for the A/C and the door locks. Old rattler window A/C, so noisy that we had to turn it off, but with out any opening windows it was very stuffy. Door locks need replacing, not secure at all.

Rooms were clean, lovely decor, area quiet. Loved that the pet section was separate to the rest of the units. The units are older so typically the aircon is quite noisy and the hot water took a while to come through but I'd happily stay there again. Great value. Loved that we were able to have our dog with us (the temperature was in the high 30 degrees!)

This property represents fair value especially if you're a dog owner. The rooms are fairly basic but the bathrooms have had a recent makeover. Pleasantly surprised to find rooms cleaned daily with fresh linen and towels provided. Office staff helpful and friendly.

Good value room and breakfast

Would have rated it 5-stars were it not for a bit of noise from passing heavy vehicles - not enough to disturb unless a light sleeper. Simple but comfortable motel, with bonus of buffet continental breakfast at very reasonable cost. Bit out of town so need own tranport. Would definitely stay again.

Wasn’t sure if I would arrive in time for check in (and I didn’t), but the team were amazing, super communicative. They made sure I was able to get in no matter the time I arrived. The room was lovely. Just what I needed after a long drive, and better than I expected for the price, especially during an event! Was a great stay, will book again.
