The property was clean. Bathroom taps and water pressure not great. The bath was better. Very old motel lodge which matched previous reviews.
Family room was great for size with two rooms.
Loved how clean it was.. thank you, it was awesome coming back to clean towels daily
clean bin, bed made and new soap…
However a couple weeks of things
It was a tight car park for new cars..
And needs a little update on the decor
other wise I’m so pleased on how accommodating my stay was .. thank you

Handy to club opposite. Squash courts and shopping centre. All within walking distance didn’t have to use car all weekend.
The room was a little dated but suitable for our stay. Clean and a comfortable bed. Air-Con noisy so couldn't have it on and sleep. A few negatives but for the price I would stay again when in the area.

Disliked: Amenities
Condition of rooms, facilities, furnishing and linen was dated, tired and overdue for an upgrade.
The property is old, rundown. Lacks some basic amenities, like teatowels, washing liquid, dish cloth. Office was always locked, un-attended by staff. Linen was clean, shower was great, but had some serious maintenance issues. Needs some freshening up with paint, curtains, and some inexpensive decor would brighten it up. Very overpriced stay.

Pool great but the web advertised a restaurant open for breakfast and dinner. Closed and not operating. Disappointing as that was one of the reasons I booked there
Clean & tidy. Good value. Excellent base for a short stay over. Our room was the spa option even had a kitchen with oven etc. room 25. Bed was comfy. If you want views, onsite 5-star dining & room service This place isn't for you. Pretty quiet we had the a/c running which was a little noisy but it's that square box style, so they are what they are. Overall, it's a no-frills motel to put your head down at night whilst checking out the area I would go back again. Office staff were great.

Staff were friendly and fresh towels and room serviced daily.
Small room without natural lighting, badly in need of renovation. Dissapointed with poor facilities especially compared to booking, different room we had, when we stayed last year. Mould in shower, badly leaking spraying shower and hand basin taps, no lighting other than a switch near bathroom door across room from bed ... not even a bedside light; and ancient noisy aircon with no remote. Room certainly was not worth price we paid.
