We chose this motel mainly because it was handy to the railway station. The Wi Fi in our room was absolutely hopeless, the dining/sitting area was quite small, we did however have a comfortable stay.

The motel was in a very convenient position for us. The staff were very attentive and polite. They helped us stay for an extra night when requested in the same unit. The motel is an old one but the kitchen and bathroom facilities have been nicely modernised. The structure is showing its age and some attention to doors and windows is needed but overall it is reasonable value for money.

Only stayed here for one night this time round but would come again. Our room was good, very hot though, air conditioning would be a wonderful investment. Also the plug sockets behind the single beds were a little dodgy and the bathroom door had a gap when closed where you could clearly see through. Other than that, it was a nice place to chill for the night.

The service was great but the motel is in port shape though the bathroom and kitchen are relatively new the rest of the motel is really dated. We didn’t enjoy being in the lounge room. The couch was not comfortable and it was shabby and tired.

NOT HAPPY!

We didn’t stay here because I never received a confirmation! I did get a phone call from them at8pm to ask if we were coming? Not happy that I’ve been charge for a stay that I never had confirmed and asked that they cancel when they did call me. I’m working with Expedia for a refund Very unhappy with this business!
