"Clean and well located motel. Helpful staff and good sized room. Laundry was well located and filtered water available in the laundry room. Good to have a little kitchenette and supermarket across the road. Bed was a bit hard (but it did have an electric blanket) and the bathroom had an odor. Good for a short stay."

"This property is in a convenient location and offers value for money. A continental breakfast is available which could be improved with little effort by providing eg yoghurt and a better brand of coffee. The rooms are good with a spanky looking bathroom and easy to use appliances. The bed is comfortable especially if you like a very firm mattress. Aircon heating was very quiet but also very efficient. Staff was helpful with good advise and ready to provide some overlooked items."
