Disliked: Amenities
Room - two light bulbs had blown and not been replaced. There were anys coming from the bathroom to the kitchen. No complementary offering of coffee unless i wanted decafe. Plenty of tea or hot chocolate. No complementary milk. There was however someones half 2ltr bottle of milk and apple juice in the fridge. Not sure why these were left behind. Bathroom - spa bath did not work. Wasn't a requirement but more of a luxury provided and not in working condition. Some mold growing around the top of the bath that needs some attention. Bedroom - no net curtains in the back bedroom. Had to keep the cutains closed in darkness. Would have been nice to open them but not a major inconvenience Only had one interaction with staff while asking for another rubbish bag. No staff at check in or check out.

My son had his regional basketball tournament at the Pettigrew Stadium just down the road which was awesome to be so close. This property was great for the price and we had dinner next door which was lovely pub grub -large meals and cheap cocktails!! Unfortunately there was a very noisey group who woke us all up pretty early in the morning!

This motel was very quiet and peaceful – that's a big deal for me. It's within short walking distance of the main shopping area in Taradale, which has many bakeries, cafes, bars and restaurants. The staff of the motel were very friendly and they gave us a free upgrade to a two-roomed unit – that was VERY kind – it blew us away.
