    The cleanliness and the staff

    That the photos online were not like the actual place we booked for. Completely different and misleading and would not have booked if we knew.

    5RobinsonPosted on: 1-12-2026

    Strong shower•Towels, soap, and shampoo provided•Some rooms (1–7) appear more recently renovated•Room 7 had an ensuite

    •Room 7 is directly under the stairs and west-facing, making it very hot in summer•Room 13 (upstairs, east-facing) and Room 7 both suffered from heavy traffic noise and light pollution, making sleep difficult on a Saturday night•Shared toilets for upstairs rooms•Doors only had handles, not proper door knobs, so they swung in the wind and banged unless locked•Bathroom door in Room 7 had no handle at all

    The room was good & modern. Don't judge from the outside.

    Noisy neighbours (Other people staying at the motel were loud till late 1am)

    3EmmaPosted on: 1-5-2026

    The location

    no milk in the refrigerator for cup of tea, bed was hard, shower water filled the shower basin, only given two towels had to ask for more, as we booked for 4 people. Walls in the bathroom need to be wiped down, couch was uncomfortable. And oven hood needs a good clean. Shower door does not close properly and shower felt loose, you can see the gap between the shower and wall.

    great location and had a nice private deck to sit on. and close parking.

    Location

    Broken window glass not safe for kids. No lock in main door of washroom. No sofa or chair, no table. All extension wires were open on floor, again not safe for kids. Washroom and toilet’s doors were very congested..

    The staff were friendly

    The stained bed sheets were definitely not good we had to sleep on top of them

    8MurrayPosted on: 12-28-2025

    Plenty of space in the kitchen/lounge area.

    The Google TV was not good. Very hard to navigate. Programmes kept freezing for 5-10 seconds which degraded the watching enjoyment

    1ChetankumarPosted on: 12-21-2025

    Need to lots of changes in the property.it’s backpacker but cost like a Hotel or Motel.

    I don’t like anything in the property also bed smells in bed sheet in unit 1 and Receptionist Behaviour is not trustworthy.once we check out she walk round unit.

    The location is great.

    It’s very hot in the room, even when the fan is on, because there’s no airflow.

    10AnnePosted on: 12-7-2025

    very simple and cosy close to shops and city

    8RyanPosted on: 12-3-2025

    Clean room, comfortable bed and friendly service

    The kitchen was a bit out of date

    10JamiePosted on: 11-30-2025
