Great value for money and perfect for somewhere to stay while working in the area. Bistro meals were a little pricey but the food was good and the serving was generous. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable however the motel in general could do with renovation.

This property was good. It was clean. It was close to where I was staying for Work. The only thing was it doesn’t have enough PowerPoint to be able to charge your phone and a watch without unplugging the TV and it took 10 minutes for the hot water to get through to the room that I was staying in which then made me late for work.
