Excellent

Convenient, close to motorway access, close to restaurants and shops, easy parking. Quiet and spacious with new and very comfy beds, black out curtains, little kitchenettes, new tvs with heaps of channels, and more refurbishment to come. Guest laundry - very handy. Very lovely staff.
The internet doesnt work well on the TV's so couldnt watch any streaming services. Also very loud people in hallway in early morning time. Great location, parking, and close tonlots of stuff. Staff is always friendlt if its a bit higher end on the pricing scale.
While not the fault of staff or motel, people traipsing up and down the stairs along with noisy shutting of doors for the majority of the night kept us awake and with a 5 o'clock start for us, it was not good.
I am glad that my family if 5 stated here. Our stay was fantastic. Staff are people's person. Facilities are awesome. A very safe place to stay. Highly recommended. Can't wait for my next trip.
Friendly filling in manager ( Bob ) very helpful. Nothing really that l could falter enjoyed our 2 nights stay

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
This was ok for a stopover point, the room was pretty clean and as we were arriving late, the checking staff left a key and clear instructions out for us.
However the room had a very strong odour of cigarette smoke in it, a few cigarette burn holes in the curtains and even stronger odour in the bathroom. I am guessing a previous guest thought smoking with the fan on would cover their tracks.. it did not. When we checked out and mentioned it to the receptionist she didn’t seem bothered by it or offer any apology which would have been the least that could be done. The bath also had draining issues, after raking a bath and pulling the plug, the floor drain in the bathroom started overflowing and flooded the entire bathroom.
The colour on the outside was certainly unique! Not sure if I liked it or not! It did make it very easy to see from the road.
Really enjoyed it here. Would definately recommend. So close to all amenities.
