The room was quite noisy near the stairs and smokers would sit outside and the smoke smell came indoors. The kettle in the room was also filthy and filled with mould, I was unable to use it.

Nice clean comfortable room. Some minor repairs are required. Needs a new shower head, there was no chain for the lock on the door. Reception was friendly and helpful. Overall a good quality lower priced motel, that is in easy walking distance to shopping centre and main street.

Very poor, reception was not very welcoming either
Parking for car was not adequate, people in other units were partying until 5 a.m., so didn’t get much sleep, which was needed before I had a long drive next day. Somebody who manages hotel should have evicted or told them to quieten down, thumping up and down the stairs also.

I actually didn’t have a reservation and just popped in to check if a room was available. The friendliness of the owners and willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate me was out standing. The food was beautiful and staff approachable, capable and attentive. The room l had, had been recently updated and was clean and comfortable. Had everything that was needed for my stay. A creek walk is not far from motel that leads to town. A lovely walk after a beautiful meal. Would definitely stay there again..

Too expensive for what you get
When paying 150 AUD, then I honestly expect better amenities/room. The place was fine. No problem there. I usually pick budget accommodation and don't care too much. I just think that this place is too expensive compared to what you get.

I stayed overnight to participate in a community event in the morning. While the room was compact and comfortable which made for a good base to explore the city centre, the shower varied a little too much between hot and cold due to others using it. Was hoping to checkout a little later than 10am, but did not feel as welcome to as I did in previous visits This may have been due to the hotel being busy, Will definitely stay again due to the convenience.
