The hotel was close to Sunshine hospital where we were visiting. The room was okay, shower was quite nice. The single bed was very cold as too close to the window and hard and lumpy. Overall not bad for the money. A bottle of water would have been appreciated.

Sunshine Motel brings to mind a pleasant motel, but this was the opposite. It looked old & tired, 2 storey motel with shopping trolleys stacked in the stairwell & metal railings. There was no allocated parking for the rooms, just a park where you can & dont block anyone in. No lift, just a dark stairwell. As soon as we ooened our room door, the smell hit us & we opened the door & window for 30 mins to try to get rid of it. I was unable to make out what it was .. tobacco & bleach or bleach masking something else unpleasant. We left the window & door open for 30 mins & that helped a bit. The double bed smelt of it so I slept on my back. There were bits of skin or scabs in the bed when I turned the sheets back & so I slept on top of the flat sheet. The shower had good pressure. I looked for a bathroom fan but there wasnt one & I saw that the ceiling was mouldy. I would not recommend this Motel. The restaurant menu was a surprise & the food was really good. I would recommend the restaurant.

Great for families, convenient, true to price

We had stayed for night at Sunshine Motor Inn. Overall it was nice, pictures a quite accurate, had an on-site parking in front of our appartment, which was convenient. We got upgraded into a King Bedroom which was nice little surprise. Sadly we didn’t get a chance to use the spa pool or pool but it was open to use, which was nice to know. Definitely recommend Sunshine Motor Inn for families. Only let down for us was no microwave in the rooms we stayed in and our toilet seemed to be clogged a little. Shower was great and tiled nicely. Tea and Coffee provided and bed was very comfortable. Overall was best for the money we paid.
