No room service so can't comment Great to be able to park outside room. Room was clean Microwave and fridge great for organizing own eat in meals. I know you cant see the back of rooms from street, but when you are in your room, maybe some work on the gardens for when you look out the window. When I made the comment re the noise, it must be the only accommodstion where the guests move the furniture, that's what it sound like when you have a ground floor unit, maybe installing carpet in the upstsirs room only might help😀. In all I was happy with the accommodation and felt safe

The motel runs as though the Covid-19 pandemic is still raging. There is no personal contact with reception. However a housekeeping staff member was friendly and helpful. More careful attention is needed for cleaning the rooms including washing the floors. The bed was comfortable and there is a free laundry with limited hours. I probably will not stay there again.

Our family of 5 were very disappointed. AWe stayed over the Christmas period for 5 nights and alot of things were not ok. For starters the fridge was not working. We told management and were told it would be replaced, which it wasn't. Had our camp fridge with us thank goodness.There wasn't enough cutlery or towels for all of us. Then there was no water coming through the shower which that was promptly addressed. Then the gas ran out on the bbq (which is what you are expected to cook on) The morning we left while cleaning our stuff up we found blood stains on the mattress topper and under the bed was horrendous. We will not return.

The place is generally okay, comfortable and reasonably clean. The pool is clean and the grounds are well maintained, BUT the hotel is VERY noisy, the traffic on the main road is non stop and the noice is permanent day and night. We stayed a week and the room was never cleaned, we ran out of toilet paper, tea, sugar and had to organise ourselves, we had to ask for new towels in our stay as no one changed them. There were a few issues in the bathroom and kitchen but overall it was a lovely place to stay for a week holiday. The staff were friendly and helpful.

My mistake, I was recommended a Motel across the road, but I mistakingly booked this one as very similar name and was on same street. 1st impressions was that it was quite dirty (bedding etc was fine) but there was dust everywhere on top of coffee table, TV, TV cable, window sills etc. All the surfaces incl LightSwitches definitely need a deep clean! And I was led to believe this place had been refurbished lately! Not even. I actually booked and paid for a better room too but certainly didn’t get that! I don’t normally do reviews whether good or bad but felt I needed too for this one
