Nice place to stay! Very clean and tidy! Love that it had a kettle. microwave and plates. But very noisy from traffic, car park and has no lighting very scary to be staying on the back building.

It was clean and fine for the night. Only two pillows provided for two ppl and no spares or additional blanket provided. The door knob/handle to the main hall accessing the rooms was broken. This meant it was wedged open and anyone from the street could walk in to the point of being right outside the room door. Didnt seem overly safe! Easy check in and out- didnt see or talk to any staff.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Really lovely efficient staff, room was clean and surprisingly large with a small table, lamps and plenty of power outlets which was perfect since I had my sewing machine with me and could set up a sewing space really easily, especially since there was a full size ironing board provided (I had my own iron and ironing board cover with me so I didn't try the one provided but it looked like a perfectly good user friendly domestic model.) The shower was really nice too, the hot water came in fast, didn't run out and the shower head had a nice pressure. I also really appreciated that the sheets and towels hadn't been doused in unpleasant highly scented fabric softeners, I get rashes from a lot of detergents and it was lovely to not need to strip the bed and use my own sheets like in some places, I was able to just hop in the bed as is and my skin wasn't grumpy in the morning 🙂 It's roughly a 20 - 30 minute walk to Northlands mall from the motel (it's on a bus route to the mall if you're not a fan of walking) so you can get anything you need pretty easily. I was there for 5 nights and would definitely stay there again.
