DO NOT STAY HERE!!! This motel is mostly being used as temporary housing for people. I left after 15mins and went and stayed somewhere else. It is shocking that this motel is still offering rooms on a night by night basis.

Clean and comfortable. The only negative there was a lot of noise from other people staying there and someone knocked on the door at 6.30 am and woke everyone up.

Staff were lovely. Room was average. Carpet needs a deep clean. My feet were black from walking on the carpet! I ended up washing the kitchen floor as it was disgusting. There are people living in some rooms and they are very inconsiderate to anyone else staying there. Slamming doors, shouting at each other using vile language at all hours of the night and their kids go around knocking on doors and run around the car park (directly outside the rooms) until MIDNIGHT! Staff were onsite when this was happening and they didn’t do anything about it. Really want my money back. Please read all the low rated reviews as they tell the truth! Don’t waste your money here.

Arriving back to the motel in the late afternoon there was a physical fight which resulted in two people being arrested with the police onsite for approx 1 hour, and subsequent follow up visits during the evening which made me feel safer. I would not stay here alone. I was relieved our unit was towards the front as I did not have to pass those involved in the violence. The unit was as pictured. Very clean and spacious. I feel for management during this difficult year and wish them all the best, however it was the public who called the police.
