Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
A very typical dated and tired motel. We stayed for 3 nights (1 adult 4 children) and the room was very small. The staff were friendly but you could tell the business owners weren’t prepared to spend any coin on finishing touches - even basics like more than 2 hangers for clothing or a sharp knife in the kitchen. Bathroom door kept jamming closed. It was ok. Staff were nice. I wouldn’t stay there

Property is showing it's age but was clean and convenient. Parking is limited so you have to check in early if you want a spot.

No Milk Again

They need to ensure milk is in each unit before the people check in. To say their is no milk is unacceptable. That has happened twice now.

Insufficient parking for visitors to Wellington makes it very difficult and unsafe for non locals. Having a more formal arrangement for overflow vehicles would be useful. On the positive; despite being near highway 1 there was little road noise in the room.
