Great price. The spa room was brilliant. Light in the bathroom flickered and eventually went out, but that could happen anywhere. My only complaint, couldn't get the room dark enough at night with the light outside.

Overpriced. The motel needs a lot of maintenance. Some power switches didn’t work and a few lights were blown in the room.

The room was overpriced probably because of the Christmas season. On checking in, had to get the cleaners back to clean up the mess that was missed ie toilets filthy.

Cheap and nasty
I suppose yo get what you pay for. Cheap and nasty Not well cleaned stayed for 3 nights and no fresh towels or rubbish bin emptied through out the stay. Cracked and broken tiles and the bathroom, constantly dripping toilet and mould in shower recess. Not a good stay. Did stay here some years back, room was in better condition and cleaner then

A true budget motel.. Clearly needing and looking for someone to love it again. Took nearly 5 mins for any hot water to come thru to bathroom basin or shower. No toilet roll holder, outside orange light next to room door stayed on all the time. Very small room, probably worth taking out the single bed so you can get into double bed from either side without hitting the window. Cold air freely flowed thru bottom of front door. Mini bar fridge leaked water.

Nice, restful and quiet. Just what you need after a busy day at the Car Race Circuit. Will be back. Nice and quiet as it's off the main strip. Much appreciated.

The room was comfortable but the curtains were coming off the track on one side. The door was difficult to open. With the key lock in place it was hard to turn the doorknob. The heater did not work properly. It barely sent out a warm breeze which did not warm the room very well. The television had limited channels, No channel 11 or 12. Bed was comfortable and plenty of spare bedding.

It was in a quiet area. We didnt have a shower for three days. it took 10 mins. to get the hot water through gave up. everything needed to be renewed. Because of the covid over two years income less so made allowance for work not done. chosen by price. no contact with staff entry by mobile contact assume you had a phone.

The property was aged, poorly maintained and NOT deserving of the three star rating. At best, one star. Bathroom fittings had perished and needed replacing. The extensive mould on the shower curtain was disgusting. There was mould growing in the corners of the shower and silastic peeling/falling from the frame.

Its a little ways off the main drag but definitely walkable. The whole place needs a good facelift. Its tired and run down. Shower took a while to heat up, bed was a bit hard, soap wasnt very good but we were only there one night so it did the job. But for $130 i expected more.

Probably not worth the $270 bill as the room was quite small and the tv didn’t work half the time. But the spa bath made up for it a little bit.

This is a lower cost property away from the noise of the main road. The rooms are generous in size if dated. The bathroom has been recently updated and parking was easy. However, the impersonal check in is disconcerting and the grounds really need some attention.
