Very disappointing motel. Unit was not clean including the cutlery. Kitchen cabinet needed maintenance done. Rubbish bin in bathroom hadn’t been emptied and still hadn’t when I left 2 days later. Unit looked tried and in need of renovations. Staff not very helpful. Generally disappointing

A welcoming smile would be nice.

The rooms were clean, no air-conditioning but 2 fans which worked a treat. The welcome at reception was non existent along with any volunteered information, too hot for spa! no laundry facilities but still listed on hotels.com also very confusing re parking as on hotel.com no parking but as soon book parking is included!

We didn't like that there was no air-conditioning and no security screens and the door could be easily unlocked by accessing an opened window. The mattress was way too soft

Amazing stay, love the owners dog Sunday who is the resident pet for everyone who stays. Very clean and welcoming. Spacious and has all amenities from stove top, fridge, microwave and toasters... so if you dont want to hunt for dinner on the main street you can cook for your own (warning Sunday will come visit you for a sneaky snack)
