The lady at the front desk is very nice and helpful. Rooms are clean. No air conditioner, there is a fan in the room instead. Location is great.

Was smaller than expected, T.V wasnt too good. Power points were in a weird place for bedside tables. However staff were friendly and welcoming and everything you need is at your fingertips ie.. shops etc. We really didenjoy our stay. Thankyou

Although the motel has aged, the room was very clean and tidy. The manager was very helpful and courteous. This accommodation would suit someone on a short stay and a budget.
Clean comfy bed and hot showers.
They let me check in late at night after arriving on night bus. Also let me stay in their kitchen and living room area until my night bus to leave town which helped because waiting for bus is ouside and was very cold. Convenient to walk to bus station too.

My check in was smooth, staff friendly. I eventually managed to park in thier car park, very limited with spaces, other guests crossing into 2 spaces didnt help.
Connecting to the wifi was easy once you choose the right hub, this could have been better explained.
The room had everything i needed but was shabby, everything in the room needed updating. The taps and shower were both rusty, the entire floor area wasnt in the best condition along with the tiles on the bathroom floor. I stayed comfortably for 2 nights and managed to do all that I needed. A bedside lamp or small wall light would help make the room less bright for if you don't want the full ceiling lights on

Good Location, but motel interior and exterior conditions are almost rundown and don’t match with the online booking images, a full professional renovation is required.
I could tolerate the small room and poor cleanliness, but the fact that there wasn’t even a hair dryer was unbelievable. Being unable to dry my hair after a shower was truly frustrating and made me feel helpless.
i got major allergies from dust in the room and couldn't get the tv to connect to the internet

The only window was facing the balcony in the bedroom, no security screen or fly screen. Room was extremely hot, fans did nothing. Did not want to open window for safety reasons.
The entire place is absolutely disgusting. The communal kitchen was unusable, the toilet and showers were unclean and unusable.

There were holes in the walls. Other than this, the room was tidy, clean and the bathroom facilities were fine. I did not use the shared kitchen space during my stay so I have nothing to say about that
