The new staff are lovely. We have stayed here before. Family room suits us fine. Is an older style motel but really suits our purpose. We like having the table and chairs and comfy sofa plus full kitchen to use if we want. Also parking outside the motel. Location is perfect for us too. Beds really comfy.

Only a small point. Cleaner had not cleaned behind the doors. Pointed this out to the new owner when we were leaving. Dont think this will happen again. Rest of motel was cleaned well.

"Wont do that again...."

3.0

The listing photos looked a lot better than reality. The room was musty and there was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. Located next to a busy intersection, with no sound proofing, made for a noisy stay.

"Great value for money and location."

6.0

Great value for money - clean and tidy room. Good for simply somewhere to sleep. Reminded us of the 1970's - in a good way.

Not so noise proof - neighbouring room where chatting until 230 am and we could hear through the wall.
