Parking was fine. Kitchen was great, everything I needed. First night was very noisy from passing trucks & traffic. Next day I realised there was a window open in the bathroom. Next night was great. Very low price. Good value. Everything I needed.

Family friendly place to stay

One night stay but friendly reception. Comfy room with many nice touches you get in big hotels. I made a little mess but no cleaning gear to fix it. Convenient little kitchenette in the room and a comfy bed. I was in the room closest to the entry and road but quiet enough and a good location to get around town. Shopping was nearby as is the zoo and Botanic gardens - a great spot to see the sunset with birdlife and the lake.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The motel room shows its age and there was mould in the bathroom. Needs a clean and the whole room would be good after a renovation. Parking spaces too small and confined. Not much traffic noise but loud people outside the room at 5am the day we were there.

Although the room was small it was laid out well but no space for putting your bag if 3 people stayed. Only room for the 2 chairs around the small table but table and 2 chairs provided in the small space outside. No room for large vehicles. Exit locked so only easy exit to use is the Entrance onto a busy road which has traffic lights.

Bed was comfortable. Shower pressure was good but the hot water took a couple minutes to come through. In the room I stayed in, the shower dripped constantly keeping me awake at times. The bathroom door was very hard to slide close as it had come off the sliders. Air con worked well.
