Overall, this is a great place to stay for relaxation in the hot tub. The check-in process is great when you can just drive straight to your room. The only issue we had was that the previous guest didn't report the broken TV, so we went without it for the night. But we were only there for the mineral hot tub, so we didn't miss the TV.

There was a cockroach inside the cupboard under the sink. We called the landline to ask for an insect spray but since there was no staff in the afternoon, they cannot provide one until the next day. So, we chose to buy an insect spray ourselves. There was no hair dryer. Some fixture need refurbishment like the bathroom vanity. Overall, it was a good stay. The staff in the morning where friendly.

Motel staff were all very friendly, 10/10 for the motel cat Winston is super friendly!! It’s a nice place for a getaway however on the cleanliness side I had to give a low rating due to the poor quality of cleanliness, spiders and webs along with other crawlies all around the place, stains on the walls that looked very unpleasant. With a proper clean and upgrade I’m sure this place will be a seller!!!

Reasonable for the price

The accommodation was exactly what was advertised and about what you’d expect for the relatively inexpensive price. The room was tired but spacious and clean enough. Couldn’t locate an iron or board in the room. Don’t leave food out in the kitchen or the ants will be in it within about 10 minutes. Nice to have a mineral pool attached to the room. Close to a Four Square as well as a few takeaway options. Self check in worked for us. Communication was fine.
