All staff were friendly and offered to assist in any way they could if needed. Complimentary bottled water plus disposable plate & utensils. Our room was allocated to suit our needs. Room clean & outdoor areas kept immaculately. Restaurants accessible by walking but a restaurant is on site too. Bbq facilities available. Location is convenient to all Hawkesbury has to offer. We will be returning.

Clean but basic motel. Laundry onsite was welcome. Washing powder provided. It would be helpful to have length of wash and drying time available on a poster. Restaurant on site - nice pasta meals. Blackout blinds would be good. Despite a busy area, traffic noise not too bad.

The room at the motel was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The bathroom had a great shower. Conveniently, there was a microwave which was very handy for warming frozen meals so you didn't have to spend a fortune eating out at a restaurant. It was well stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits and complimentary bottles of water.

Table and chairs on balcony outside our room attracted very loud and swearing men which made us feel a little unsafe but says more about their behaviour than the motel. The bed was a very comfy king size. Good linen and towels. Modern bathroom would be even better if floor grout had a deep clean. TV volume was set too low and couldn't be adjusted. Tub chair was so filthy it should be replaced with an easily cleaned laminate & metal to match the other at the desk. Curtain also needs replacing. Other cabinets need moving together. If those changes were made then the room may live up to it's Executive King title. The back of reception door also needs a good scrub.

Motel was comfortable and clean. Room was quiet as it was away from the road. Checkin was seamless. Staff friendly. We were upgraded to a superior room, but we had a shower over a spa sized bath. We had to climb up 2 steps then down into the bath to shower - for us it felt dangerous as once soap gets on the polished bath surface it is very slippery. Our comfortable sleep was interrupted by noisy patrons leaving early in the morning and they had no clue about courtesy to other guests. This is not a reflection on the motel but it was annoying. A sign/ reminder to guests to respect other guests if planning on leaving early may have an effect. Otherwise stay was enjoyable and we’d stay there again, but we’d just request a normal shower in our room before booking.
