There was plenty of individual space, one bed down one end, a bathroom in the middle and another bed down the other end. We ended up asking to stay on the groundfloor, due to the stairs, and we were really happy with our room. The linen was crisp and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The shower was wonderful, I think we had a room for disabled persons, and it was perfect. Lady who checked us in was lovely and came back to check on us.

Look we were really happy with our accomodation, and would happily stay again. It is Just around the corner from a chinese restaurant, just up the road from mcdonalds and other eathouses. Parking was easy.

The great thing about the hotel, it's not far from the city, it has great facilities and the beds are comfy too.

The only problem was the air-con wasn't working much which caused the room to be hot and almost had trouble sleeping. Also the screen door for the balcony couldn't lock properly and the lock was broken. But besides that it was still a nice room and great hotel, it wasn't too bad.

Welcoming & helpful reception. Comfortable bed & clean room. Close proximity to city & attractions.

Little sleep during our stay, due to ? a sign banging in the wind loudly every night. (Query attached to the roof or near the roof). Terribly uncomfortable couch (needs replacing). Toilet brush had no holder (lying on floor). On arrival, we found dinner plates to be dirty. Nothing provided to wash & dry used crockery & cutlery. Carparks barely met the width / length of our standard car, let alone others wide SUVs. It was difficult to get into our car via the drivers side door.

The bed was comfortable. There was next to no noise being on a main road. It's very close to the city centre but just out a bit to not have full traffic noise. Travelling with a little one these small things matter.

Needed to have a toaster in the room. This wasn't allowed as it trips the power. This is something they can fix, but overall not really an issue.

Location, easy to come and go. The parking and plenty of room to turn around, secure. Room replenished daily, bed made.

Slightly on cleanliness, could of been fluff off cleaners clothing, table could of done with a wipe down. Side table are looking shabby. Half baths could be removed so door could open fully and a nice large shower instead , otherwise all good.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, when I ask about any nice places to visit and nice cafe, staff introduced to me and know very well. Facilities were clean and tidy. The mattress was so comfy. The motel was very quiet at night even just next to the main road. There is a Chinese restaurant at downstairs. Walking distance to Coles and WWS.

A free upgrade was lovely at check in and a comfortable and quiet room was great to come back to after work. Access to the property was easy and the location was really close to the town.

The walls were a little thin as a neighbouring room had someone playing the television loudly until well after midnight. Not the fault of the motel though.

Very clean and tidy. Great facilities in the room and beds really comfortable. The Asian restaurant was also excellent with great menu and service was fantastic. You do need to book as it is very popular with the locals.

A little bit out of the city central area but for that it was quiet and very little traffic noise nearby.

We brought our own breakfast needs. I was pleased when asked whether we wanted upstairs or down. Very thoughtful .

I didn't like the ashtray on the table outside. I was concerned the last visitor may have smoked in the room but it certainly did not smell like cigarette smoke in the room.

The location was good, the staff were polite.

There was no one at reception or when I rang from my room, I had to ring there landline number from my mobile. You are able to use the bath they don’t give you a plug so you can’t use it. And the description said it would have a hairdryer but there wasn’t one.
