Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Easy parking and Woolworths literally across the road. Several takeaway options within walking distance. Room was spacious with extra pillows and blanket, big towels which were replaced daily and bed remade which we were not expecting. Only negative (if it can be called that) was provided amenities had cutlery but no forks!

The rooms are spacious but a bit dated. I'm not sure what they use for cleaning but there's a strong scent when you enter the room. I had two rooms, and one had an older style air conditioner that was extremely noisy. I'm not sure how those members of the family slept with it on. Otherwise, a great location and clean and comfortable. I love that you can park your car outside your room.

We like :- the area of the motel is convenient for us as it is easy to get to and has everything we need in walking distance. (LOCATION) What we don’t like was the smelly room , old furniture, outdated and old floor coverings , old bathroom and outdated shower but the worst thing was the filthy sheets on the bed with blood stains on them !!!’ Had to sleep on bath towel to cover dirty sheet .
