This would have been the worst motel I have stayed in over the last 10 years. There was no reception, never saw anyone, was advised of my room via a text. Rusty handrails in the bathroom, the shower tray was bent and dangerous edge to trip over, there was a microwave but nothing to use to cook in it. Windows were missing latches. It did have good heating and the bed was comfortable and tv worked. it was cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for, but will not be back there

Stayed for 19 nights in the one bedroom. Staff I met or would see were always very friendly. Very close to bus routes and walking distance to various shopping. Quiet and secure. The plunge pool and sauna were a very nice amenity and it is well maintained so relaxing after a long day was always possible. The only thing I would say is where my room was is right next to the pool, and the gate going into and out of it would get kind of startling as it swings shut very loudly. Maybe get some kind of damper or buffer for it and it would be absolutely perfect. I would definitely stay here again.

The receptionist was rude during our stay. We upgraded our reservation from two adults to one adult and two children. Although we paid for the extra child, she did not provide us with additional towels or coffee and tea for the extra person. She also told us to get our milk from the supermarket. Would not recommend anyone wanting a peaceful night.

Convenient, cost efficient, nice to have bedroom separate from lounge. Grounds would look nice with a tidy up, inside of rooms could do with a refresh. Would stay again.
