We had problems with noisy neighbors but was deal with probably after a phone call to management was impressed would stay there again. Spent 3 days there clean tidy units staff very good 👍
A nice clean well presented motel with a new restaurant. However units lacked some amenities such as a microwave, toaster, small hand towels, cutlery and Crockery other than those needed for making a cup of tea or coffee.
Staff were friendly and helpful, particularly changing my booking and providing safe storage for my bike

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great shower pressure. Beds were soft and comfortable. Construction going on so sitting on the patio not good views. Handy to new world, liquor store, McDonald's if you want a 6am coffee. Coffee shop next door opens at 7.
Since having children, I've never been happier with a place to stay as we have here. Great value for money (we stayed in a two bedroom apartment), nice pool area, so close and easy walking to three supermarkets, local food spots, and shops. The room was well cleaned, and friendly staff. Great vibes...we weren't bothered at all from the current renovations of the bar and restaurant...will definitely be staying again 😀😀
Loved the entire place, the staff were great, house keeping was prompt and helpful with everything. The pool was the best part - loved staying here and will definitely be back again
