What Guests Loved
Based on 678 reviews
Pros +
- The beds were very comfortable.
- The location and the spa. Especially when bowling all day at a comp. Was very relaxing for the muscles ready for the next day of bowling
- The Pool in the room, the staff
Cons -
- Very old buildings which need an upgrade. The shower was a bit dirty.
- Its very old fashioned, some what run down looking, the rooms have a musty smell i relate that to the oldness. It gives emergency housing vibes and i would consider having cameras installed for customer safety due to its open-ness. Even if for the look of them However, very quaint. The only reason I would return is for the thermal pool in room. That is amazing. Unfortunate theres a time limit on it. 9.30 seems a little dramatic considering its about when one might want to be out there after a long day. I understand noise but you van be out there and not make noise and relax in it whenever one might want with respect if thr neighbours but I guess would be hit and miss as some people may not respect the space. Overal, the kids loved the pool.
- The shower did not have certain temperature setting to enjoy, and the spa you had to hop in at certain time.when it was full or else it was low and warm most of the day, you couldn't full it up and enjoy.

Lovely Staff, very friendly. The room was lovely and had a heated spa pool that needed some painting, but we still spent 4 hours soaking in the pool. Beautiful temperature on a cold night.
Should have stayed longer. Aw well next time.
Awesome staff who were very hospitable and accommodating to our requests. Have been here before and everything was expected from last visit.
Bit bummed that the pools hours had changed and were very short as they were when we were out at dinner
Great having a mineral spa.Great location.Enough room for two of us to have seperate space. CleanGood to have milk and Tea etcLinen great.Staff very friendly and helpful
Shame I had no instruction on how to use Sky.The pole in the middle of the spa was a minor nuisance but pool was clean and hot so great.
Great for a family the unit we were staying in
It had a microwave but no hotplate, but had a pot and pan in the cupboard.
The staff were friendly
The bed was uncomfortable bit too hard for my liking, the room felt damp and there was mould in the upstairs room and cobwebs. There was a warm pool however it was dirty.
The staff were wonderful, friendly and went above and beyond. The ros.are worth the money and we enjoyed the spa pool
Bed was good Plenty of coffee TV alot of choice
The spa was warm but the bottom of the spa was breaking away an I cut my foot
Having a heated pool and spa pool was nice
Not enough setting to enjoy a movie together. And no pots and pans provide which made it difficult to provide meals for my family
Good location, but the beds were very soft, and lamp didn't work.
The shower was good and it was warm. Definitely love the view across the road and how everything was in walking distance. Oh and almost forgot, also love the little spa in the room
I liked the hot tub and the heated pool. The staff were kind also they made sure we had everything during our stay. I didn’t really have anything that I disliked while we stayed.
Always a good stay, friendly staff and thermal pools, distance to everything
Clean and spacious
Outside of rooms abit run down not so inviting But over all we liked the place
Well considering I only stayed there 1 night then my partner stayed there alone 1night check out the next morning but it's a rip off that the cost for 1 person is still 175.00.I think atleast drop the price for 1 solo traveller instead of charging the same price as you would for a.couple.In saying that we keep coming here because my partner loves the private thermal pool x
We stayed here for 3 nights. This motel is getting quite run-down, chairs with wobbly legs, no 3 point power plugs in the main bedroom. Bathroom needed an upgrade. Helen
The place was so old and groty there were rotten boards in bathroom so dated wasn't worth the money no couch for us to sit on there was 3 of us wouldn't recommend the price we paid we have stayed in much tidy motel
It's old and needs a make over not up to standard bathroom was horrible
