A comfortable space for family holidays

The price was good. The room was clean. The staff member who i spoke to was friendly and supportive. Our room was on the second floor and the shower water was great. The queen bed was comfortable to sleep. The lock of our room entrance door did not work properly occasionally. The door should be locked automatically when you shut the door, but a few times we could open the door without using the swipe card. We also had issues using the hotel wifi even though we were connected to it.

Tired hotel

The room I booked wasnt available when I arrived, was given a downstairs room which was cold & noisy due to upstairs guest's and a rather old fridge. The heater fixed the cold thankfully. Check that the glass door is closed & locked if you get one of these rooms. Bath had a cockroach and poor grout throughout, it was very shabby looking. Water pressure was okay. Ground were also shabby with long grass & weedy. Staff were helpful with finding food options & it was an easy check in.

Pool was not heated. No electric blankets. Very dated flooring, couch was filthy, and the road noise kept us awake all night, even though it stated sound proof?? Unusual leads running t.V with extention cords, defiantly wouldn't stay again. Add an extra $30 a night and you can get a lot better

Easy parking. Easy check in. Large family room. Good price. Big fridge. Was a last minute booking, I'd return if needed. The bathroom window let in alot of light. And curtains weren't dark enough. I get concerned about dusty curtains also blinds would be better.

Very outdated as far as rooms and facilities. Draws were dirty and had what looked like crumbs in them. Curtains were stained and also the roof had some dirty looking marks. There was no bins, none even in the bathroom/near toilet for female items. There wasn’t anything to look through as far as things to do around the area, info about the motel if needed to contact. No little milks to go with coffee/tea.
