    All the amenities needed were there-blanket. Coffee TV etc

    Carpark needs a bit of work.

    The location was easy to find and communication for after hours check in was fantastic. The room was clean and tidy and the staff we met in the morning were very kind, polite and fantastic with my kids ?

    7AndrewPosted on: 4-17-2025

    Comfy bed & good shower pressure.

    Mould in shower. Previous occupants hair all over the lounge.

    3GwenPosted on: 4-17-2025

    Last time I stayed in room 24 and it was clean and comfortable. This time, room 7, sane price but well below standard. Staff friendly and accommodating. Location good.

    Room smelled, bed uncomfortable. Room not clean. Marks and mould on walls, curtains.

    8CynthiaPosted on: 4-13-2025

    Clean , spacious and comfortable . Older style but Kept well. Dog friendly

    6LucianaPosted on: 4-10-2025

    Clean, comfortable and conveniently placed a little way back to be more private. Close to Woolworths and Service station. Perfect for pet friendly

    A little bit tired but clean comfortable and pet friendly. Would stay again.

    6CiaranPosted on: 4-6-2025

    Nice place to stay staff very friendly rooms are clean , and location was good for what we wanted to do , easy to find

    I am been picky but I smoke , there are chairs out side the door and an ashtray but not very comfortable,can’t relax and have a beer , some rooms have tables but most don’t , but other than that very nice to stay there

    We were quite happy with our stay and happy to be able to have our little dog stay with us .

    Unfortunately the shower let you down as the bathroom floor filled up with water flooding all round the toilet and out as far as the basin. I feel it to be a safety hazard as far as slipping on the wet tiles and if someone was to use the hair dryer whilst standing in water could be very dangerous. When you turn the air conditioner off it drips down onto the floor inside the front door again making the floor slippery.

    Friendly customer service.

    Musty smell in the room smelt very bad ! all kids and myself got real bad allergies from the room, dirt on the face washers and towels, hard beds weren't comfortable at all, air cons weren't cold,

    7NicolePosted on: 3-26-2025

    Friendly staff, standard room, soap dispensers, tea and coffee, biscuits and 80ml long life milk provided. Clean bath room, average beds and plenty of pillows.

    Carpet needs replacing, locks on the window were not the best. Door vibrated sometimes with electrical appliances on but stopped if you pushed on it.

    7YvonnePosted on: 3-25-2025

    The location was handy.

    The facility needs updating. It was noisy at night.

    2TanyaPosted on: 3-24-2025

    Wouldn't recommend! ?

    Cleanliness of room could improve. General smell, mould in bathroom on back of door, Cobb webs, cupboard with cups/plates etc smelt horrid, no milk supplied for tea coffee. Terrible area in terms of people hanging around in carpark around cars. Didn't trust parking our car there. We were in room for 2hrs then left after hearing and seeing arguments happen outside which we can only guess were drug fueled. Not a nice area! Would not recommend this place to anyone!

    7NicPosted on: 3-22-2025

    Easy to access, good parking close to the room

    General lack of maintenance - the curtains would not close, making it impossible to be private, for example
