Guest Reviews
- Donna (10/5): - A very comfortable overnight stay
- Klaus (10/5): - Shops within 200metres. Town centre 1km. Parks are easy access.
- Ashley (10/5): - Excellent location and good size room
- Ian (10/5): Medical Escapade - Spacious room, great bed and amenities. Close to corner shops for that must have snack. Easy to find on main road. Welcoming facade and staff.
- Katie (8/5): - Charming room even if aging and in need of repairs. Cosy and well place for our overnight stay. Thank you
- Brian (8/5): - Food stores close by
- Nancy (10/5): - It is a nice neat Motel - in a very convenient location.
- Wayne (6/5): - All good, due for a refit.
- MARK (8/5): - Very friendly staff, clwan rooms and comfortable beds
- Derick (6/5): - Don’t book through Expedia
- Allira (6/5): - I'll start with the good. Staff very friendly. Check in very easy. Got upgraded to a 2bdr room at check in. Bed is comfortable. Fresh milk provided and room serviced each day. The cons. Noise from road traffic. Lights outside window don't turn off until after 10pm. Room very old and dated. Bathroom walls/tiling very unclean. There was mould in grout and boogers/grot/etc on the tiles in the shower and around the bathroom sink. And finally, I booked through Trivago and used 'pool' as a filter. Images on the site showed a pool. When we arrived there was a dirt patch where a pool used to be. Kids were devestated! If we had known, we would have gone elsewhere. Overall, it's ok for a quick overnight stay if travelling through.
- Therese (8/5): - Handy location with very friendly staff. Quite noisy due to main road frontage. Good value.
- Sandra (4/5): - Front desk service was friendly & excellent. Room was noisy - outside traffic and neighbors dogs. Very humid because of gap under door and permanent opening in bathroom window - A/C didn't remove humidity. Carpet and bathroom floor sticky from humidity. Beds clean & comfy. Basic amenities good (microwave, fridge, table to eat at, basic dishes). Noise was biggest factor.
- Sandra (10/5): - Convenient for the function we attended
- Gwenda (10/5): - Cleanliness n comfortability is the 2 things i look for, got both. Positioned nicely ( walking distance ) for getting a meal for dinner
- Brett (10/5): - Very happy with our accomodation. When we arrived, the staff upgraded us from a family room to a 2 bedroom motel room which was fantastic. The decor is dated but it was clean, comfortable, quiet and had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. I would recommend this motel for a short stay away and it is central to everything.
- Yanjing (10/5): - Quiet，clean and neat. Good for family stay.
- Marjorie (10/5): - Comfortable
- Stephen (10/5): - Clean and tidy.
- Shanon (8/5): - I loved convenience to shops and hospital. Could do with internal maintenance. Would stay there again friendly staff. If wanting the pool not always functional
- Melinda (10/5): Top stay in town. - Conveniently located. Owners friendly & helpful. It’s an older place but rooms are modern, clean & comfortable.
- Patrick (8/5): - For a light sleeper, some of the rooms would not be suitable. There is road noise but it diminishes quickly during the early evening. Bed is firm and comfortable, water is hot, fridge works, room is spacious and the onwer is great.
- Robert (8/5): - all good
- Oksana (8/5): - Clean, close to everything you need, easy parking but old beds, noisy air condition, old bathroom, need some renovation
- Bruce (10/5): - Friendly & easy check-in. Very comfy bed with soft sheets.
- Maxwell (8/5): - On a very busy major road,difficult to turn in and out of,parking bays oddly marked out,if you have a 4x4 it could be a challenge,front windows on unit 12a do not have locks or latches on them and could easily be accessed from outside.bathroom looking very tired and dated,shower screen needed a good scrubbing or replacement.
- Loretta (10/5): - Staff were easy to talk to and very friendly. The unit was very clean and well equipped.
- Nigel (10/5): - After a long drive I was really able to relax in the comfy lounge. Everything functioned very well. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well. For an older chap, it would be good to have a rail or handle near the toilet.

- Stephen (10/5): Central location and comfortable. - Comfortable accommodation for a couple, reasonable roomy. Central location to local sites. Olny small issue was unusual parking and road access needed great care in exiting.
- Denus (8/5): - Very friendly and efficient staff.
- Brian (6/5): - Power points at bed head were actually below and behind the mattress so difficult to access when you needed to use a CPAP machine. On the positive side staff were very friendly and our booking had been handled very efficiently. The shower was excellent for water temperature and control. Priced appropriately given the property is showing its age and could do with a refurbishment

- Maria (10/5): - Warmly greeted upon arrival room was ready neat and clean. Within walking distance from eating options.

- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good basic accommodation. Friendly helpful service.
- Mick (4/5): - It was just ok. It was a bed for the night, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything more than that. The beds were made up, but far from comfortable. Very thin walls, noisy all night The cleaners have NO idea about customer service. Wandering around yelling to each other, smoking outside rooms and as I found out when I left, not doing a great job under the beds. The place hasn't been renovated since at least the 70s and requires more than a lick of paint. No exhaust in the bathroom. Noisy aircon with no remote. Like I said, it was a roof and a bed, for a last minute stay I highly recommend looking elsewhere
- Bruce (10/5): - Staff were friendly and inviting. Made our stay most relaxing and enjoyable. The manager was a lovely lady and very efficient.
- Christine (8/5): - Room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

- Deb (10/5): - Clean comfortable room and great staff.
- Geoffrey (8/5): - It was clean , quite and what we expected The staff were very friendly and very helpful
- Nathan (8/5): - Good bed and shower not flash but don’t expect it to be for the price
- Gayle (8/5): - The only negative was that the room was short of blankets. It was clean, handy to convenience shops, quiet.
- Aynne (6/5): - my friend took me to hospital appt at 7.00am,. She reeturned 15 minutes later to find the room had been cleaned and some of our stuff was still there.
