this was central to the shops. great location. mould all over the blind. noisy with traffic. an intoxicated man was banging on my window, and smashing other clients windows at midnight. he was able to access the motel through the gate with the broken lock. two police crews arrested him, lights and sirens - by the time the staff had cleaned up it was 02.00. this was very scary especially because I was by myself. I had to work the next day and was very upset and tired. The TV had such poor reception I could not even watch the news. the pool looked clean and well maintained. - I saw kids enjoying the pool. the reception is dirty with cracked glass. my bathroom window had cracked glass. overall a poor experience. the shower leaked all over the floor. I went to the chemist and purchased ear plugs and phenergan to sleep. Good carpark security, however the gates were not always shut.

Only good thing about the place was the location. We got there and left immediately. Room 18 in appalling condition, marks all over the walls, marks, stains and rust on the bed side tables, cuts and stains on the mattress, mould all in the shower and on the blinds as well as other questionable stains, the bathroom cabinet handle was broken off and missing and the bathroom door was a landlord special, cut out to close around the shower tiles . Need I say more? It was a terrible experience and because I had checked in late there was nothing that could be done and had to sleep in my car until I was able to arrange for another place the next day. -10/10 would never stay again

The room we stayed in had bugs in it. The fridge didn’t work at all so it made us waste our money on our food we got. We also came back to our room late in the night to discover our floor was being flooded with water from underneath the carpet wrecking our bags and our stay.

Property was run down. Gate to enter was missing so anyone could come into the property. There was trash scattered in the parking area. We had a very noisy room, could hear people going past at all hours as well as people using the washing machine nearby at 3am. Was a room for 6 but no amenities to match - 2 cups, 2 chairs, etc. There was mould in the bathroom.

The pre- arrivak instructions and communication was excellent. Family of 5 well accomodated for - very convenient for a quick stay and go. Beds crisp and comfy- hubby fell asleep straight away. 2 bathroom and showers- clean and newly renovated. Just the walls could do w a bit of cleaning. Need lighting to where the Lockbox is for keys, the entry to Carpark pinpad also needs a more obvious sign, as does the pinpad within the carpark as thats the only way in or out . Took us a while to find the keypads as it isnt well lit and quite dark. But overall its a handy little motel. Practical for a big family not wanting to spend on luxury for a short stay.
