Amit from the staff was extremely helpful. The motel is excellent for a pocket friendly stay where one can use the common kitchen for cooking and very near to the sink hole and a few mins drive away from the blue lake

This property has had some renovations but they fall short in terms of practicality. Shower was a disappointment. Looked good but low water pressure and show door was not installed properly. The conditioner and shaving cream dispensers were not filled. Room was much smaller than photographs show.

Needed somewhere to stay that was affordable for an urgent quick trip. I stayed here & was worried being 7 months pregnant that the beds would be uncomfortable given the price. I had a great sleep, the bed, pillows & blankets were nice. Room had aircon & blockout blinds & blockout curtains. Mini fridge was the best one I’ve used & actually kept my water bottles really cold which was nice. Not many hotels/motels ever have a good working fridge.
