Bring Earplugs

Just needed a nice little motel for the night. 60s style which has been renovated except for the A/C and the door locks. Old rattler window A/C, so noisy that we had to turn it off, but with out any opening windows it was very stuffy. Door locks need replacing, not secure at all.

Rooms were clean, lovely decor, area quiet. Loved that the pet section was separate to the rest of the units. The units are older so typically the aircon is quite noisy and the hot water took a while to come through but I'd happily stay there again. Great value. Loved that we were able to have our dog with us (the temperature was in the high 30 degrees!)

This property represents fair value especially if you're a dog owner. The rooms are fairly basic but the bathrooms have had a recent makeover. Pleasantly surprised to find rooms cleaned daily with fresh linen and towels provided. Office staff helpful and friendly.

Good value room and breakfast

Would have rated it 5-stars were it not for a bit of noise from passing heavy vehicles - not enough to disturb unless a light sleeper. Simple but comfortable motel, with bonus of buffet continental breakfast at very reasonable cost. Bit out of town so need own tranport. Would definitely stay again.

Wasn’t sure if I would arrive in time for check in (and I didn’t), but the team were amazing, super communicative. They made sure I was able to get in no matter the time I arrived. The room was lovely. Just what I needed after a long drive, and better than I expected for the price, especially during an event! Was a great stay, will book again.

Terrific value for money. Really comfortable bed. Only reason the staff received an 'average rating' is that we checked in after hours and left very warly, so did not interact with them . We would definitely stay here again next time we are passing through.
