1. Food scraps kept coming up the bathroom basin from the drain which was blocked. 2. Brown stains on quilt that looked like old blood stains. 3. Toilet lid too small for toilet and moved on the base. 4. Brown gunge came out of the kettle when poured out water on arrival. 5. Insufficient amount of toilet paper left in the room. No supply under sink. 6. Very small room with 1 chair. 7. Great spot close to good hotel dining. 8. Nice view 9. Excellent location and essy parking Only would stay here as a last resort as was in this case. Review completed by 3 adults.

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.

Clean, cosy and comfortable rooms. Rooms were well set out and each room had a clean, separate bathroom with hygienic dispensers for soap, shampoo, lotion etc. Mattresses were comfortable and linen was crisp and clean. Heater in main bedroom was very noisy, we left it off overnight. Heater in kids room was quiet and efficient. Quilt on beds were too light, we felt a bit cold on waking in the morning. All in all a good place to stay and very affordable.
