- sandy (10/5): Couldn't have been better. Great place to stay. - Spotless ! Great facilities and friendly helpful staff. Nothing to dislike.
- Desmond (8/5): Would stay again. - Very comfortable motel room, spacious with a kitchenette. Close to the supermarket and a 10 minute stroll to pubs & resturants. An added bonus is the bus stop right outside of the motel. The manager is very pleasant and helpful. Nothing to complain about.

There's a Pak'N'Save very close which is handy. The welcome was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, warm and clean. T here are a couple of small things that would make a big difference, like have hooks to hang clothes from in the bathroom, but overall, it was good value.
- Denise And Kyle (8/5): -

- Roxxy22 (8/5): - The host was very hospitable and allowed us to drop off our bags early to the office, so we did not have to cart everything with us while we were at my child's sporting event. We didn't end up doing this as we were running late, but he even rang us in the morning to see if we were because he had to pop out for a bit that morning. Very grateful for the extra attention.
- ZHENGRONG (10/5): -
- Houpapa (10/5): Staff were awesome and helpful, room had lots of space for the children, location, parking and access was good. - Close to central city and plenty of space for the whole family No AC units. Was very hot the night we stayed and the fans were an ok solution, but the heat was unbearable upstairs even with doors and windows open which resulted in us moving a mattress downstairs.
