"Great staff service, being friendly and approachable. Hotel offered room service which was very convenient. Shower was nice and hot after such a long drive. Only just needs a block out curtain at the end of the room to allow for a sleep in. Otherwise, recommended for travellers!"
Central Park Motel
"Comfortable room with spa. The room was a little dirty and didnโt seem like it was cleaned and prepared properly. The staff was helpful and cleaned the room for me before we got settled.
