Home away from home
Wonderful unit, clean and inviting. Spacious even with 2 beds, dining suite and kitchen. Bathroom large with a jet tub and a stand alone shower. Have mentioned that the bathroom area is quite slippery even with fan on. Tile chosen too glossy for a wet area. Grab rails by tub would be great.Carpet is possibly due for a deep clean. I will return to this motel as it has everything I need. Even though it is on a busy street it's very quiet. Staff extremely helpful, friendly and polite.

Spacious home away from home.
Was pleasantly surprised when I entered my unit as it appeared spacious, clean and we'll decorated. Staff were very polite and eager to do their jobs. Being a non driver it was great to see a bus stop outside the motel and one across the road. The buses were easy to use as long as you had a preloaded Bee card. As a gold card holder my information was loaded on my Bee card which made bus travel free. Ten minute walk to a dairy and slightly further to supermarket and food places. Would definitely stay there again.

Was given a disabled room and not being disabled myself I couldn't park in the allocated space which made it tricky to park safely. The walls are paper thin so bring earplugs if you are planning to stay.

Room spacious and clean.
However, the shower-room without a door is miserable
as it was wet and slippery after shower.
Suggest to add a handle by the tap so make it a bit safer
, especially for those seniors.

Very spacious room for myself and 3 kids. However thought the main bed would atleast have legs and be up off the ground, not sitting on the ground. Otherwise was a good stay.

Like that it was on one level and no stairs to climb. It has everything, love the big walkin shower, the jet spa or bath, loved everything just about, maybe a little update on a couple of little things like bedside draws otherwise loved our stay. Great place❤️
