Well located motel onTay Street. The motel is clean and comfortable. The bed was good. The kitchenette is well resourced for small meals. The bathroom was set up for people with disabilities, plenty of space with required handrails / shower seating etc. we enjoyed access to the laundry after travelling for some days. Netflix was a bonus. Car parking ample. Overall a neatly presented little apartment.

A nice new complex but we were put out the back in a prefab type building, with no communication. For the price we paid for the room it was disappointing, especially with no AC and being so far from the laundry. It was perfectly fine, just not for what we paid as I was expecting a bit of luxury compared to the rooms we had been staying in elsewhere that were $100 cheaper.

Wouldn’t stay here again

The shower water was cold and took 3 minutes to warm up and then would get really hot or cold throughout. There was no headboard on the bed and the wall was cold.
