Have stayed at this property previously for long stay accomodation. Clean and comfortable accomodation. Adequate facilities and receptionist was always helpful and very pleasant to deal with. I booked again and found the same this time. I like the tiled floors as i suffer from asthma and find carpets aren't as clean, so unsuitable for asthmatics. This motel is very convenient, walking distance to excellent IGA with a range of meal options, hot and cold. Other restaurants also within walking distance. Hairdressers, service station and post office a block away.

An overnight stop while travelling, all was good, parking outside room, spacious, good shower, enough crockery & cutlery for meals, options for eating out or getting essentials close. The only negatives- tiled floor could have had a mop. & black out curtain been heavier.

Very good facilities except smokers allowed to smoke right out front of my door. Being Asthmatic this is a serious concern. If no smoke would have given higher rating.
