Nice & clean, white linen, over all was very good. But we had 3 people staying, with only 2 glasses, 1 cup, 2 dinning chairs? The biggest disappointment was the lack of sound proofing, coming from upstairs we could hear everyone walking, everything they dropped, doors, water running, even talking from next door. We where there for a sports tournament around the corner, with 7am starts so just needed a bit of quiet. Oh the unlimited wifi was great, shower, hot water great, bathroom just needed somewhere to hang towels and shelf for toiletries, makeup etc.

Clean unit.... BUT thats where it ended. We booked 2 rooms for 6 adult women. We had just completed a 3 day Badminton tournament and had the final function that night at the Hamilton Gardens. We had to ask twice to have the sofa beds in each room made up. There was NO hand soap on the basin and this during Covid. No shampoos or basic shower soap. Only 2 towels provided. We had 2 ask for an extra towel... despite the booking in the room for 3 adults. Minimal milk provided.... allowance for 1 cup only.. WIFI advertised but not functioning. Poor standard for a nearly new Motel. Not Recommended.

Horrible place, don’t ever think about staying here. Filthy room and when I asked for a clean room they were not willing to swap into a clean room. Definitely will never consider staying here again,
