Did not like the fact that an intruder came into motel area on both nights. Appears he was going through the ashtrays looking for cigarette bits. On both nights he took a chair from the front of our room and left it against the fence. He used the chair to scale the fence and escape from the property. Lucking all cars were locked.

Generally a standard property for the star rating. Some problems with a flashing Fluor in the bathroom. Room was on a main road and the traffic noise was intense. It would appear no effort has been made to attenuate this.

I loved the pop of colour on the bed covers. The large flat screen TV was great. I did not like the brick facade inside the unit and the outdated furniture. The room was expensive for what you got.

This doesn’t promise to be luxury. It was a comfortable bed and a hot shower for the night. The owners were lovely and the servo across the road had great pizza. It wasn’t expensive but the in room facilities were great for the price.
