Bed was comfortable and the location very handy to the mall - our room was small, probably better for a single person or contact the motel before booking to request a larger room.

Very friendly staff. Due to repairs having to be done in bathroom we had to go to a motel next door for 1st night then move our stuff back for remainder of our stay. Very inconvenient and NO discount offered.

Great room for long stays! The owners are very welcoming and made sure my stay was comfortable. There is daily housekeeping and cleaning. The location is great, very convenient with walking distance next to the Westfield. Easy to get food and amenities. Many parking spaces are available so parking is no problem. Room is clean. Kitchen has all utensils for two people. Pots and pans are also available for cooking full meal. The pan in my room is old and rusty so I requested to change it and the staff has swap me a new pan. Toilet is clean and spacious, shower is hot and good pressure. I had a very nice stay overall and would definitely stay again!

Super convenient location across the road from the mall, fast food, and supermarket. Very quiet even being in a busy area and on a main road over a weekend. Comfortable warm room with all amenities. Staff very helpful and accommodating to our special needs which we very much appreciated! Recommended and would love to stay here again.

Staff were fine but the room (23) was small dark and a bit neglected. To be honest we did pay a really low price but we did choose to leave early.

Convenient at its best

We have stayed here several times now each time it’s been a great experience. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room has everything you need for a couple of nights stay and it’s directly opposite a big shopping complex with the shops you need.

Owner was away when I arrived and the manager there had no idea left in the rain got wet phoning five times for the doors to be opened to check , when the owner did come back he did seem to care with the issues that were presented however, too little too late! The cleaning staff didn’t leave many towels and every day was different ( was there 5 nights) they didnt even replenish the toilet rolls ended up having to use tissues to go to the toilet!! one of the worst places ive stayed at and I travel all the time … couldn’t change to another hotel due to Chinese New Year’s booked out

Not accessible

I am in a wheelchair so booked the 'Superior accessible unit'. The bathroom was very small and it had very clearly been modified to tick the boxes to make it 'accessible' rather than thought going into how it would function. Would NOT recommend for anyone in a wheelchair!!
