The accommodation benefits greatly from its convenient location, which was the highlight of our stay. However, this positive aspect was somewhat overshadowed by issues with the air conditioning, as well as concerns regarding the cleanliness and an unpleasant odour in the room. While the location is ideal, these areas require attention to enhance the overall guest experience.

Air conditioning was on preset timer which we could not change. Therefore, it turned frequently every few minutes. The hot water temperature may not have been controlled. We feel the water was too hot & someone, especially kids could get easily burnt. We have advised this to the manager during check out. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Overall, good accomodation having a family room which gave plenty of space, was reasonably modern and presented well. Unfortunately the overall experience was marred by a shower head that was broken, not giving a constant flow of water.

We had to park on the street as the motel car park was full (including the spot in front of our room). The hot water system from next door kept making a constant loud banging noise which got quite annoying by the end of the night and trying to sleep. The room was comfortable and clean, kitchen had everything we needed, tea/coffee/sugar/milk provided, beds were comfortable.
