This place is not fit to be on hotels.com For $163 a night it’s a disgrace, mould and broken soap holder, leaking shower head (that kept me awake all night), no shampoo, conditioner or body wash, toilet brush was full of wet toilet paper and so worn out, the bed was so uncomfortable, curtains need replacement and didn’t cover the windows so outdoor light was beaming in at night, the cutlery was from a 2nd hand shop and had broken handles, the 2 chairs were stained and had a broken window in the bathroom . The place was so run down and a disgrace. I had 2 x nights booked for work purposes and left after 1 x night. I have pics to prove all this.

The room we stayed in was tidy and clean. It had a fridge, microwave and kettle which is very convenient especially if you’re doing road trips. They also offer some breakfast items at the reception before you need to go to room which again very convenient.

Dump

The complex itself is a dump. Ground floor room, only block out curtains. No privacy blinds so if you want natural light, everyone who walks right past your room can see right in. Lots of people smoking, drinking and talking outside our room for hours. Inside, NO toilet paper even though it had 2 roll dispensers. They were both empty. No milk provided for the coffee or tea. Half the powerpoints dont work. Fridge door inside broken so couldn't stand a soft drink bottle up. No top sheet on bed. Just a prickly wooden blanket. Pillow was like a rock. Old and run down. Cobwebs in the bathroom. Just a disgusting property. Find somewhere else to stay.

The manager is so friendly and helpful. Breakfast of cereal and toast is included in the price and I had a pet friendly room. The tariff cost an extra $20 for my dog. The bed was amazing. Soooo comfortable.

Not good when your room is not serviced daily. I had to ask for clean towels and toilet paper constantly. Very disappointing, as the noise from the road was so loud, very hard to sleep. The motel is old and needs renovations, which I understand but no one should have to ask for their bed to be made, clean towels daily or toilet paper. The tea/coffee/2pkts of individual biscuits were never replaced. And never had a glasses/mugs replaced. We had to wash everything in boiled water from kettle. This is just unacceptable.

At first look not confident I had chosen well but the room was clean, it was quiet and motel was family orientated. Families staying with their kids and pets which was reassuring. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Renovated Hotel

Room was renovated apart from bathroom. Very clean. For a dog friendly room which are usually the worst of the property, the room was lovely. Reception staff were welcoming and very helpful. It’s not the motel’s fault but people were chatting outside up until around 2am. They were permanent or semi permanent guests and didn’t give two hoots for anyone. The hotel should consider moving smoking areas a long way from guests as that is where they meet up. There was traffic noise but it wasn’t bad and expected. Reception staff were the highlight, oh and the great Thai restaurant next door.

Quick Stay

The Motel was aged but OK for what we needed - a bed in the middle of the night and a hot shower next morning. Graham was more than accommodating, very helpful and friendly.

The office staff were very friendly. The room was exceptionally clean, the housekeepers do an amazing job. The price was very reasonable, and free breakfast was a bonus. Apart from the traffic noise which is expected being on a main road, the place and service is great.

It’s very clean & reception staff are friendly. However it’s very dated & not at all sound proof. Could also do with some new beds.
