Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The proper was neat and tidy with friendly staff. The presentation of the rooms was okay but it could look better with a a of the linen, towels and furniture as well as painting. A renovation of the bathrooms at some time would also elevate the overall customer experience. The place is as said neat and tidy well priced with nice staff.

Great affordable room.

One night stay, just passing through. Room was clean and tidy, good selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and some bikkies. Loved they had takeaway coffee cups, was great for making a coffee to go in the morning. Older motel, but the bed was super comfy and I had an amazing sleep!
