Reception staff (Owner) friendly and helpful. website says breakfast available, it was not. No in-house dining at all. Beds weren't made although requested just towels changed. A little too pricey for what was on offer - noisy mini friedge which woke us up very early. Bathroom extractor extremely noisy. Place looks dated and in need of an overall upgrade.

This is a fairly old motel that offers a basic, cheap, clean option for short stays. Check in is easy and the staff are friendly. The towels are clean and the water is good pressure and temperature. Tea and coffee provided, along with the complimentary biscuits.

There was an electric blanket on the bed - this is a plus - I hate getting into a cold bed. Everything was clean and tidy. The tea and coffee facilities were good, there's a microwave in the room and a decent split-system aircon/heater. Nice lights in the room and above the bed. All good.

The price was OK. It was basic but comfortable. The TV did not receive all the channelss. You would go onto a channel and you could hear the start of the program but then it would stop. Only a few channels worked properly.
