- Steve (9/5): Great hidden gem. Highly recommend. - Excellent service. Very friendly reception. Good location. Great value for money. One of the best budget motels I have stayed in. Highly recommend. Age of resort but it appears that they are spending money to upgrade. Not that they can do anything about age of building. Only minor repairs needed. Went to have shower at 4am but found no hot water. Later that morning it was there.

- Kim (4/5): Convenient for an emergency one night but wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer! - Location was handy & close to the airport, which was important!
Beds were comfortable but pillows were not! Extra pillows would have helped!
Accessibility to & from room & carpark was good as was the security gates! That was appreciated! Couldn’t get hot water in the bathroom sink or shower…was only lukewarm at best!
Was expecting some basic cutlery, a few plates & glasses which would have been very handy! There were only a few mugs & teaspoons! So very difficult to eat your takeaway!

- Allon (4/5): Some good a fair bit bad but fixable. I was not there for pleasure or long enough for any of it to m - Bed comfortable, linens good quality, clean and fresh. Pillows only two for a double room and they were super cheap quality. Towels clean and fresh and of good quality. No Hot Water - discovered too late to be an issue. Strong cheap chemical smell in room - dissipated over night. The air conditioner when turned on didn't seem to have been used for a while as very musty and also had chemical smell. The unit TV was tuned to two channel 7 channels only with picture. The half dozen other channels had sound but only blue screens.
- Brian (4/5): Disappointing - Location Cleanliness - not very clean
- Nelson (8/5): Not the greatest, but it provided myself a bed, shower and toilets, and a roof over my head. - It was easy to access after hours. Had sliding door blinds and curtains, comfortable bed and linen, tv with local tv channels, toiletries provided. Carpark had “Park at your own risk” which made me hesitant with my hire car. There was a spider in the bathroom. I could hear people throughout the night angrily yelling or talking very loudly. Pool didn’t look too nice.
- Anonymous (3/5): I guess got what we paid for - The pool Unclean, hot water kept turning off , tv didn’t work, needle found under the bed
- Verified traveler (2/5): Don’t waist your time or money. - Do not waist your time with this place.
We got there and there was no one at reception. We tried to call and call and waited and waited. In the end we just left
Then when we tried to get a refund they denied us a refund and told us they had camera footage of staff at the reception. The lie and lie. Worst costumes service ever.

- Judith (1/5): Bad - Desk was only open until 2 pm. The security gates and doors were not used. Our sliding glass doors were flimsy and didn't lock easily. The key did not work on the outside door. The neighborhood feels sketchy and so the lack of security is disconcerting. We had reserved two nights but decided to stay just one night.
- S.oschmanns (7/5): Good -
