Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Basic amenities but no microwave. Our room needs more air freshener or cleaning because of smell from previous occupants. Reception had sent us away by initially saying no booking under our name and they have no vacancy left for the day, sent my husband to our car and check with me for wotif confirmation and eventually said there was a booking after checking her messy printed a4 paper with no welcoming face. Did not even offered to check with wotif herself! There’s 2 big dogs wandering in the vicinity who comes in the hotel rooms and sniffs for food. Shower temperature hard to control. They also did not ask to fill out for covid tracing check-in.

We stayed the Thursday night before Good Friday. It was busy which is great. But rooms very run down. Bathroom was very dirty. Behind the door was very dusty. The hot water service leaked which we told them about. Can only comment on the room as we got there at night and left in the morning. Also the TV reception was really bad.

The courtesy shown by staff at reception was greatly appreciated by a very tired traveller. This was maintained throughout my stay. A hearty breakfast enabled me to re-set. Thank you staff

For someone who needed to just stay for a night, the property is ok. I wouldn’t recommend staying for a long weekend or anything longer than a day. Property is very old. The carpets in the room stink. The water in the pool is very dirty.

Pretty good.

A reasonable hotel with a nice pool but I have to mark it down a bit because the kettle didn’t work (replaced immediately) but particularly because we couldn’t get internet for two days.

Clean and tidy but a bit noisy.

The motor inn was clean and tidy but just a little dated. Windows out to the verdanda allowed the overnight light to pour into the room, and a dripping tap was a bit noisy. If you are a solid sleeper this would be a convenient place to stay, but if trucks roaring down the highway all night are likely to keep you awake then this might not be the right place for you. I did love the dog welcoming committee though - they were very lovely hosts. :)

Clean & comfortable

Motel is a bit dated, very clean & very comfortable. Due to it being a windy night l had to jam a sock in the front door to stop it from rattling. Would probably pay a bit more & stay somewhere else next time.
