Was very disappointing. Continental breakfast was only cereal and bread. Bathroom smelt horrible and shower had mould and soap scum. Fridge isn't what pictures show was a tiny bar fridge just as well I took an esky. Toaster and kettle packed away in cupboard and the tea coffee and biscuits not enough for 3 people no spare blankets for if you get cold (thankfully my daughter had her own) upon check-in guy very friendly and nice but room wasn't ready we had to wait in car for 25 minutes then walk on wet tiles. The room looked nothing like photos on wotif. If travelling and not needing Fridge with freezer space then its ok for sleeping overnight beds were comfortable but they slide on floor when you get up and down off the bed. Only 1 chair provided for 4 people. Overall 2 star rating for cleanliness and convenience. 4 star for guy who checked us in and out. He was polite friendly and apologetic. Continental breakfast isn't Continental it's literally just cereal and bread for travellers who are travelling far that's definitely a disappointment.

Staff member who welcomef us 10min before closing time was very friendly and helpful. The room was disappointing as tv did not work properly on any channel. It kept freezing after a few minutes so we gave up on that. I decidedto read my book instead, just to find that both bedside lamps were missing bulbs. Alsono batteries in the a/c control and no spare blanket. Free breakfast was a bonus but the overall experience not good and would not stay again or recommend to friends

Good bed and great little Thai takeaway next door in the other hotel. This hotel supplies breakfast (as long as you collect it yourself before 7pm or you don’t get milk or breakfast). It’s supposed to be pet friendly but it’s hard to get a pet friendly room when booking via an app.

Not good when your room is not serviced daily. I had to ask for clean towels and toilet paper constantly. Very disappointing, as the noise from the road was so loud, very hard to sleep. The motel is old and needs renovations, which I understand but no one should have to ask for their bed to be made, clean towels daily or toilet paper. The tea/coffee/2pkts of individual biscuits were never replaced. And never had a glasses/mugs replaced. We had to wash everything in boiled water from kettle. This is just unacceptable.

Renovated Hotel

Room was renovated apart from bathroom. Very clean. For a dog friendly room which are usually the worst of the property, the room was lovely. Reception staff were welcoming and very helpful. It’s not the motel’s fault but people were chatting outside up until around 2am. They were permanent or semi permanent guests and didn’t give two hoots for anyone. The hotel should consider moving smoking areas a long way from guests as that is where they meet up. There was traffic noise but it wasn’t bad and expected. Reception staff were the highlight, oh and the great Thai restaurant next door.

No consideration for other people

Great check in. However we had a early get up, in between travelling, so needed a good nights sleep. It was me, my partner and my 5 year old. The people in the room next to us was super loud all night up until 12am. Constantly slamming door, in and out and dogs barking. Loud voices. No respect. Was super hard to sleep and very disappointing. We had to get up at 3am. The TV reception cord was snapped off so we couldn't use the TV either.
