Excellent stay

Contactless check-in was such a quick and easy process. We booked the downstairs deluxe room so parking was right at our door which we wanted. Simple and easy check-out was also contactless. Excellent place to stay and right over the road from a major shopping centre yet it was a quiet motel.

We arrived in the evening and departed early the next morning so is difficult to give it a fair review. It is very clean, well located, quiet and we felt quite secure.

Exceptionally clean & up to date amenities. Lots of power points so often lacking these days. Premises conveniently located. Well maintained & visually appealing. Quiet rooms.

Martyn

Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We arrived mid afternoon on a Friday and reception was closed. We rang the number on the door, which didn't connect and had to rely on another guest for a mobile number to get access to the key safe. No apology, claimed they didn't have our details to contact us as we'd booked through hotels.com. When reception was manned, staff very helpful. The limited hours of reception seem at odds with a typical motel. Very limited storage space

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property has been beautifully renovated. Only a couple of suggestions....an extra bedside table would be nice and could be more room around the bed near the wall. No container for the soap on the vanity in the bathroom. We tripped up the rise into the bathroom a couple of times. Loved the ice machine directly outside the room. Great fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave 😊

Well located in Grafton, the room was stylish and large. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was large, very clean and well appointed. The room faced onto the road but this didn't matter as there was double glazing so traffic noise was not noticed at all. This is my go-to accommodation in Grafton from now on.

Property was very good. Let down was the Essential Energy people drinking & yabbering on from 11.30pm til 12.30pm in the common area. No regard for other guests. Kept us awake & put a dampener on our stay, particularly when we had a 12hr drive the next day.
