We liked the room, although a bit cold and it took a while to warm up. We’d more than likely stay there again.

When you are a mature woman travelling on your own safety, comfort and cleanliness is important, as well as value for money. This accomodation fulfilled this.

Was disappointed that the room configuration was not what I booked on Wotif, and that they actually didn't have any rooms that matched the online booking (I specifically booked this motel for its twin room with 2 double beds - instead got a queen and single). Bathroom layout is awkward to use, no room to hang towels/clothes or set out toiletries. On site parking is good but very difficult to get in and out of when full

Don't know what photo you looked at as none of our rooms have 2 double beds. Only superking & single or queen & single.. If you had booked the De Lux room that has the superking & single. It is downstairs also a accessible. unit. sorry you were disappointed. You should have come into the office and raised your concerns
