Clean and comfy

Nothing special in terms of grounds or outdoor facilities but great for a quick stopover. Parking outside the door and a very clean room with all the amenities and excellent sleep quality. Was taken aback by the need for a damage deposit but the refund came quickly, though i lost a few bucks in the transactions. Might be a bit boring for a long stay but fine for a stopover.

The rooms were very hot. We slept with our windows open to mitigate this and although there was a languid ceiling fan it would have been appreciated to have something more to circulate the air.

Communication with the property was great . Only let down by the location of our unit which was roadside so very noisy . Unfortunately we could hear our neighbours whenever they were in their unit . Bathrooms could be cleaner and carpet needed a good vacuum .

Home away from home

Wonderful unit, clean and inviting. Spacious even with 2 beds, dining suite and kitchen. Bathroom large with a jet tub and a stand alone shower. Have mentioned that the bathroom area is quite slippery even with fan on. Tile chosen too glossy for a wet area. Grab rails by tub would be great.Carpet is possibly due for a deep clean. I will return to this motel as it has everything I need. Even though it is on a busy street it's very quiet. Staff extremely helpful, friendly and polite.

Did not like arriving to the place to hear that I had to pay a bond to stay in my room that I already had booked and payed online. My room only had quarter roll of toilet paper the remote was broken and after checking out of a terrible one night stay I was told that I won’t get my bond back until the cleaners did my room and made sure I hadn’t broke anything or stole anything didn’t receive my bond till 2 days later. Overall will never ever stay there again nor will I ever recommend to anyone to stay disappointed and very unhappy

Unfortunately not a pleasant place to stay, no privacy, so have to keep all curtains/blinds (which need replacing) closed. Strong smell of bleach, clean-ish if you don’t look too closely. Decided to leave after 2nd of 3 nights, asked for a refund and staff assured me I could and to come back next day for it. Well that was a lie, I called back and they wouldn’t refund me. Definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here, I certainly won’t be again.
