"Would not recommend this to anyone"

3.0

Nothing… from the moment I walked in I disliked it. My suite overlooked a wall.. Tiled throughout and cold underfoot. No drawers to put clothes in. No room for suitcase in the bedroom. The leather lounge was seriously uncomfortable. I was the only guest for 6 days… I now know why. Regret staying here but it was booked by someone else. Although only a short walk to town it was the same price in town for much better quality.

As above

"welcoming, comfortable, convinient"

9.0

we loved staying at the Motel, very central, comfortable, felt safe, and our dog got to enjoy the same privileges that we did too which was an extra added bonus to the stay.

maybe the cleanliness in the bathroom/shower, the top duvet covers had some stains..whiite is hard to keep spotless i guess. not much we didnt like.

"Peaceful, clean & a great spot for couples and families"

8.0

Excellent location. 5 min walk to shops. Easy walk even for the most unfit. Friendly welcome & easy check in. Very cheerful & happy people. Great you can bring your doggy. Has plenty of grass for them to do their business on & a nice little deck for them to watch everyone. Our studio had a lovely workable kitchen & just enough space for us all. Really clean. I'd definitely stay again.

OK so you can hear other guests a little but we didn't find that annoying & most people are respectful of other guests anyway. We loved it here as location is perfect & great for our doggy.

"Wonderful Stay!"

10.0

The room was very clean and tidy. Owner is super lovely and accommodating with providing an early check-in (and even went the extra mile to give us a room upgrade). Our room was spacious and we would absolutely stay here again!

Nothing everything was great!

"An enjoyable stay."

It was centrally located, our room was located on the periphery so was very private. No complaints.
