Very friendly and helpful reception
The motel was well maintained, simple and comfortable motel. The lady in the reception was very helpful and friendly, and she even let us check in a little bit earlier. The location of the motel is great, a short walking distance to the thermal pools and the motel even offered us two towels to take to the pools.

Personally, I don't think this property is a 4 star. More like a 3 star. It was clean and tidy but a bit dated (furnishings and the bathroom was in need of updating). The bathroom was tiled and flat with a shower curtain that went around the shower (very outdated) with no storage at all, no where to put your toiletries or clothes when you get out of the shower. You couldn't put anything on the floor as it would get very wet!
