We had a nice stay, the staff where polite and friendly, the pool was clean, our child enjoyed the playground, the beds where comfortable. Not luxury but not bad for a family with young kids. We did note a concern that we mentioned to staff. I wouldn't say its as bad as some of the google reviews said but our room definitely needed some maintenance in the bathroom and kitchen.

It was advertised as a four star motel but i guess that rating must be by indian standards, i put it closer to a 1 star, they take a hundard sercurity deposit on check in that we were not told about when booking if we knew about that we wouldnt have booked, i assumed it was in case we did damage to the room which was assuming because there was already a lot of damage when we arrived that they hadn't bothered to fix, it remains to be seen if they try to blame us for it

Staff were welcoming and friendly. Restocked room on second day whilst we were out which was nice. Shower was filthy with pink grime around the seals and slimy glass. Pink smudge on toilet paper. Many guests smoking cannabis on premise. Wouldn't stay here again. Room also very stuffy and the air con unit emitted an unpleasant odour when we tried to use it.

Upon arrival I feel as though customer service could have been a little warmer, more smiles would help. Apart from that our stay was delightful, we booked the double pod which was perfect for the night. I enjoyed the area and the amenities it provided. The shower drain did not work properly which was highly annoying & the place smelled heavily of cleaning product, I would suggest a candle for people to burn whilst being there. Was a really nice time though and for the money it was worth it. The pod was nice and quiet at night! Overall we would rate it 7.5/10. Kia Ora!

The area where the hotel is located is good if you business in the area. The hotel itself isn’t in the best condition but if you are just looking for a place to sleep it does the job. Staff were very nice and welcoming.
