Would have been nice to have a mirror in the room itself. Hard when someone is in the shower and you are trying to put makeup on or get ready in the room. No actual mirror to use.

The motel advertised that breakfast is supplied/available. Not so. Incorrect advertising. This made our stay inconvenient Also, the staff, however so nice, did not have any knowledge about eating places or places to visit. The unit was clean and the bed very comfortable.

The motel was quiet and had everything we needed, but the wifi was terrible and dropped out every few minutes. The shower gel and shampoo were also empty, the light in the bedroom did not work and the room smelt like chlorine. Otherwise the room was very accessible and comfortable.

I needed a room that was suitable for mother & adult son & they accommodated this very well with a huge bed in lounge & separate bedroom. The rooms are spacious, great having a table & chairs, good sized kitchen, wonderful shower. Parking is a bit tight. It was value for money

Previous customer who slept in our unit was probably a smoker. The smell of tobacco mixed with deodorant (used in the attempt of mitigating the smell) was well noticeable and even we open door and windows we could only limit this issue a little bit. In the morning a group of people were sitting just outside our unit making noise and talking laudly, disturbing not only us. Very disappointing.
