Pros and Cons - clean and convenient

Clean, tidy and comfortable enough for a short stay, and very convenient to everything. However at the price I would expect the ensuite room to have its own fridge, jug and tea & coffee, but it did not have any of these. These were available in the shared access kitchen, dining, lounge area, but a single refrigerator for many rooms & people is never going to work well. As the place also has hostel / backpacker style shared accommodation, you can’t leave your own milk, bread, butter, or drinks in a shared fridge or cupboard and expect them to be left unused by others.

Amazing:)

It was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. However, the water pressure in the bathroom is too weak. Other than that, it was very amazing.

A comfortable and warm stay

We had a one night stay at this motel. The room was very comfortable and warm. It was just a shame there was no kettle or tea and coffee in the room. A bit of a pain having to walk around to the shared kitchen every time you wanted a drink. There was ample free parking and the room was quiet. The motel was pretty much in the centre of town and very walkable to everywhere.

Once you work out the warren of corridors, rooms and hot-tubs it's fine. Some parts of the property are reasonably old but maintained, if you don't mind that there's nothing not to like about it.

Thin walls, hard bed and a dusty room. A safe place to rest my head but not the comfort I was looking for after a trudge round Mount Doom.

Clean but not exactly worth the money

Very clean and very new. However, very small and doesn’t have essentials like a wardrobe to hang up your clothes. Basically living in a cabin but paying motel-hotel kind of prices.
