Was very disappointing. Continental breakfast was only cereal and bread. Bathroom smelt horrible and shower had mould and soap scum. Fridge isn't what pictures show was a tiny bar fridge just as well I took an esky. Toaster and kettle packed away in cupboard and the tea coffee and biscuits not enough for 3 people no spare blankets for if you get cold (thankfully my daughter had her own) upon check-in guy very friendly and nice but room wasn't ready we had to wait in car for 25 minutes then walk on wet tiles. The room looked nothing like photos on wotif. If travelling and not needing Fridge with freezer space then its ok for sleeping overnight beds were comfortable but they slide on floor when you get up and down off the bed. Only 1 chair provided for 4 people. Overall 2 star rating for cleanliness and convenience. 4 star for guy who checked us in and out. He was polite friendly and apologetic. Continental breakfast isn't Continental it's literally just cereal and bread for travellers who are travelling far that's definitely a disappointment.

Renovated Hotel

Room was renovated apart from bathroom. Very clean. For a dog friendly room which are usually the worst of the property, the room was lovely. Reception staff were welcoming and very helpful. It’s not the motel’s fault but people were chatting outside up until around 2am. They were permanent or semi permanent guests and didn’t give two hoots for anyone. The hotel should consider moving smoking areas a long way from guests as that is where they meet up. There was traffic noise but it wasn’t bad and expected. Reception staff were the highlight, oh and the great Thai restaurant next door.

No consideration for other people

Great check in. However we had a early get up, in between travelling, so needed a good nights sleep. It was me, my partner and my 5 year old. The people in the room next to us was super loud all night up until 12am. Constantly slamming door, in and out and dogs barking. Loud voices. No respect. Was super hard to sleep and very disappointing. We had to get up at 3am. The TV reception cord was snapped off so we couldn't use the TV either.

The property has new owners, and they are slowly making improvements. It was a great little spot, and the customer service was A, but the outdated facilities and lack of a kitchenette or a collective cooking area were drawbacks. I look forward to seeing the improvements the new owners have made again.
