Not far from the beach but with a much cheaper tariff. Old building but very comfortable and perfectly suitable for an overnight stay. Didn’t see the staff but received an email with easy checkin details. Parking in front of room. In a quiet area off the highway.

This is a tired motel, and despite no smoking signs people still smoke right outside the rooms. There was no bolt lock on the door. Communication with the staff was difficult.

I found several cockroaches in the kitchenette during my first night. Despite the unpleasantness I killed them and cleaned them up. The second night I woke up to insect noises and found a big cockroach and some small ones walking behind it. I felt very disgusted and could not sleep. I notified staff who moved me into a new room for my final night but it was a very unpleasant experience.

I was relieved to secure an hotel at last minute close to Sippy Downs and arrived late around 8:30ish from the Pet hospital. The hotel was closed up and there was poor light outside and I couldn’t see the hotel office or a sign for the office. I walked around the side of the building where I saw a light and a couple were watching TV I asked if their room was the office and how I could find the Manager. They gave me directions. I found the office door and the Manager was very helpful , she promptly checked my booking ,gave me keys and pointed me to my room, a few doors away. This is an older 70’s style establishment that has been updated, inexpensive tariff and well kept. It appeared to be booked out once my room was confirmed. Main Room & bathroom , we’re clean & tidy. Queen size Bed ,linen was clean & bed very comfortable. TV ,complimentary milk, tea & coffee, kitchenette style with kettle & refrigerator . There was a very loud noise outside the Bathroom window from an air conditioner. But once the old heavy bathroom door was closed it drowned out the sound. I slept well in the comfy bed and left early to return to the vet hospital. Thanks Fiesta& Last Minute I needed that safe secure rest.

We were a little disappointed in the condition of the room. It looked like renovations were being done to the facility and we may have gotten assigned a room that had not been updated yet. There were stains on the floor and on the bedsheets. The bathroom window made us uncomfortable as there was an opaque window cover with holes that could easily be looked through and the shades in the main room window were installed on the outside of the window frame so there was a sliver of window that could be seen through as well. The windows themselves were not very secure either. Additionally, the lock on the door could be more secure and the outside light needs repaired as we had to return to our room around the side of the building in the dark. The owner was very kind and did allow us to do an early check in. They also responded in person to assist us with a concern we had. Overall, if renovations were completed, this could be a nice place to stay for a night or two.

The motel is of an older variety with attempts being made to upgrade. we had a 3 night stay. One our first night, there were 6 coffee sachets, 3 tea bags, 4 sugar and one very stale pack of biscuits. We thought these would be replenished the next day, but we were left waiting.

The host was really friendly & accommodating. Quick response to messages & really convenient with check in & check out. The only things for recommendation would be a rug or something to wipe your feet on as the floor is lino & it was raining outside, so feet felt dirty after showering & the powrerpoints by the the TV didnt work. Otherwise great. Easy to find.
