Room was clean, staff member was friendly on check in. Water pressure was poor so not a great shower. We were only there one night but thought it was expensive for what it was. Would of been different if we got one of the newer units it got an older motel unit

Location and views were great. Facilities in the room were appropriate. However, the shower was reallllllly slow, just not enough water and pressure, took way too longer for showers. Other than that, it was great experience staying there.

Reception staff were wonderful. Howeve, and I realise it was a long weekend but for $300/ night for a queen bed was pretty over the top. No servicing of the room (we stayed 3 nights), door lock chain was broken, bathroom amenities were a joke at this price (one soap and two very small tubes of stuff)- most motels have shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. We had to remove our rubbish and wash our dishes (in the bathroom sink). One sheet of tissue paper. I realise that this motel caters for overseas tourists (evident by the rice cooker as part of the cutlery equipment), but you need to lift your game.
