Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The reception staff were friendly and informative and the room was spacious. The added bonus of tv apps was great. Although there was a heat pump it struggled to keep the unit warm.due to the fact that all the floors were not carpeted. Parking was good as you could park anywhere and the motel was about a ten minutes walk to the cbd and a paknsave supermarket was within walking distance also.
