The room was clean. The pictures of the pool need to be removed because the pool was so cloudy I couldn’t even see the bottom. The whole area is somewhat run down. I wet to go for a swim and returned to the room immediately. I wasn’t prepared to swim in that.

To be honest, my main reason for choosing this place was the pool; knowing it was going to be a hot weekend, I thought my daughter would love it. However, upon arrival, we were informed it was closed due to being dirty and not cleaned because of the weather. The receptionist promised to clean it in an hour or two, but it actually took hours, leading us to head to the beach instead. It would have been helpful if they had updated about the pool closure so guests could plan accordingly. Despite this, the parking was ample and easy to use, the room was clean and pleasant, and we loved the comfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom had all the essentials, which was a plus. The staff, especially the man handling housekeeping and possibly reception, was friendly and made our experience better. The restaurant downstairs served delicious food. Overall, it was an average place considering the price paid.

We had a great 2 night stay with our dog. The rooms are very clean with everything you need. A little dated but it really didn't matter as it's priced well, the rooms are clean and also lovely service. Indian restaurant onsite with room service available. The pool was refreshing and clean considering we just had a storm, but we enjoyed the half hour of sun anyway! The only critique I would have is the Bbq area being a bit cleaner. It is in the smokers hut and other guests whilst they're drinking at night leave their butts around and ash all over the tables as well. We utilised the bbq for every meal which was great. But maybe some cleaning utensils for guests to clean the bbq better after use(I'm glad we brought foil to cook on). The chairs to sit on in the hut were a bit gross too. Other than that, we were extremely happy with our stay and would definitely stay again!

Nice quiet spot. Yes the rooms and the building are old and dated but the bed was comfortable the room was clean,dated yes but still it was clean. The only real negative would be the conditions of the grounds. The driveway leading up to the property is overgrown and just messy and the grounds full stop could do with some attention.

The Motel is very clean and is easy to access from the Highway but the only issue is the parking spaces are too small for today’s vehicles and this needs to be looked into as guests are damaging their own and other vehicles because everything is so close together.

There were multiple big flying cockroaches, gaps where cockroaches came from at the bittom of the room walls, mould on the shower floor, shower taps were very very loose and need to be fixed, pool was dirty and mould around the pool and wall around the wall, gardens overgrown. There is a 9pm quiet down time, yet there were many guests walking past our room being very loud and nothing was done. I did appreciate the reception letting me check in early, as I was having a medical episode, but unfortunately that isn’t enough for me to give it 5 stars. I won't be returning.

Room and bathroom was nice and clean but the perfume scent of the room was over powering. Would suggest not using perfumed cleaners as it affects a lot of people, with migraines and other allergies. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room service was excellent.

Friendly staff with a welcoming check-in. The place is a bit old but really clean and had everything you need. The room was comfortable for a one-night stay. Only downside was the strong smell from the cleaning products. The Indian restaurant on-site was amazing—delicious food and great service from the staff there too!

Rooms are very small and we struggled to walk past each other. It would be fine for 2 people but 4 was too squishy. It was very noisy and we could hear people in other rooms. But it was very clean so much that we could smell the cleanliness perhaps a little too much. They have tried to update the property. For the price it was a convenient overnight stop.

This hotel is extremely outdated, old bathrooms, no hot water after 6pm on Friday night. Walked were like cardboard, we could hear everything including the people above us. But you know it was cheap so you get what you pay for, I will say the bed was really comfortable. The only saving grace was the Indian restaurant attached to the hotel, "Don't Tell Mumma" great food and not too pricey. So after a long 8 hour drive and a cold shower the Indian dinner was amazing.
