While there the pool was closed for a short period due to 'guest vandalism'. The receptionist at the time was very accommodating as I'd planned to return in the not too distant future. No issue with rebooking !!

Room very clean with comfy bed and great shower so many positives, but my room was nothing like on the website. Very old. The QR scan on the mirror with motel details and breakfast orders didn’t work as I was wanting breakfast which had been advertised as available but unfortunately wasn’t. Very limited parking available. Overall for my brief stay it was good value for money very clean good shower an an aircon that works
