There was a cockroach inside the cupboard under the sink. We called the landline to ask for an insect spray but since there was no staff in the afternoon, they cannot provide one until the next day. So, we chose to buy an insect spray ourselves. There was no hair dryer. Some fixture need refurbishment like the bathroom vanity. Overall, it was a good stay. The staff in the morning where friendly.

We had a wedding to go to in the local area - location perfect, staff excellent and we’re able to help with an earlier check in due to wedding timing. It is an older property but was perfect for our stay.

Very rundown, not too clean. Some of us got locked out due to a malfunctioning door and couldn't get in until the managers arrived and dismantled it. We spent the night with paper stuffed in the hole in the door.

Motel staff were all very friendly, 10/10 for the motel cat Winston is super friendly!! It’s a nice place for a getaway however on the cleanliness side I had to give a low rating due to the poor quality of cleanliness, spiders and webs along with other crawlies all around the place, stains on the walls that looked very unpleasant. With a proper clean and upgrade I’m sure this place will be a seller!!!

Reasonable for the price

The accommodation was exactly what was advertised and about what you’d expect for the relatively inexpensive price. The room was tired but spacious and clean enough. Couldn’t locate an iron or board in the room. Don’t leave food out in the kitchen or the ants will be in it within about 10 minutes. Nice to have a mineral pool attached to the room. Close to a Four Square as well as a few takeaway options. Self check in worked for us. Communication was fine.

Our own private mineral geothermal spa

Our own private mineral geothermal spa. This place was one of the highlights of our trip. Though the building is older and needs updating it was clean and comfortable inside the private spa on the patio was a bonus, it was clean and in good condition, during our stay we had several soaks in it.

The interest shown and help given by Louise was much appreciated Thought the remote set-up of check in and out made the entire experience most impersonal and NOT appropriate for a hotel or motel
