A super good value stay. ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sue Jan 18, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The only positives were our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room was dirty. Sticky cupboards, unwashed dishes, dust and dirt around the baseboards and light switches. The shower box had mouldy seals. When I complained I could see that nothing was going to happen. We paid $879 for 3 nights. Not good enough. I would not recommend staying in this motel. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27258e47-f6c1-4c5a-a5b9-98dbe3542e68-1768700934465.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c4e772b-8877-4f53-a260-3a03c7c1c0f5-1768700936400.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/136e72b5-11f1-447e-94bf-3285b0950a7a-1768700935173.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b76f6417-105c-4250-9d9d-c2507cda110b-1768700934458.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sue Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### susan Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely room with a great view..decent size and setup..clean..bonus of a natural mineral spa and outside deck.. ##### susan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nikola Sep 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great room, staff very welcoming.
