Hibiscus Lakeside Motel was a nice stopover for our holiday travel. The rooms were comfortable, practical and clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Shops and parks not far away and the location was relatively quiet.

Overall the hotel was a good place to reside for a couple of nights.The room was spacious and very clean.The bed was very comfortable.It was just a few minutes walk to the restaurants.Also it had a seemingly unlimited walking path alongside the lake which I found very pleasant.The only flaw was the shower door which allowed water to escape on the bathroom floor when taking a shower.Overall I would recommend to people as a great reasonably priced motel to stay a few nights.

My great weekend.

The room that I was in was comfortable and clean (no.4 x 3 nights). The only thing that could have improved it would have been a water view lol. An enjoyable experience.

Overall this is a very run down property externally / photos are decieving . When showering water leaked out onto bathroom floor so stood on wet mat.The kitchette area was tiny just outside the bathroom. Room looked like it wasfreshly painted but rushed with paint on the bathroom windows and marks on the walls. It was very disappointing as l went by the reviews and ended up cancelling the next room booked at this property and rebooked elsewhere.
