Nice place to stay. However, with us being there for most of the week, there was no check in at reception, we waited for an hour and half for check in. The cleaning staff did not check our rooms to see if we needed fresh towels or rubbish cleared or tea/coffee topped up. Apart from that, it was a nice place to stay

This was the worst motel we have ever seen. We actually didn't stay and had to quickly book another motel which was hard last minute. The place was filthy, and the room which hadn't been cleaned was not habitable, the receptionist didn't speak any English so had someone on a speaker phone trying to organise all the arrivals. We don't think this this motel should be allowed to operate.

The room was okay, one bed had dirty sheets, we had ants all over the place, dirty walls. No lights by spa so we were in the dark when we took our kids in. With no one on site it meant we had to keep ringing. It also went to after hours at 7.30pm when it says after hours is 9pm on their call line. It was a decent size two bedroom. It could be better for sure. We also had dirty cups on check in.
