10/10 Exceptional

This is a motel in excellent condition. Recently refurbished and kept clean and tidy. It's quiet considering it's in town. We stopped here twice, first ti.e direct from the airport, 2nd to break a journey. Both times the guy on reception was very welcoming, offered milk with no prompting. 1st ti.e Expedia had failed to pay them despite taking the money from me! He was so relaxed about it he even apologised to me for the inconvenience and made the whole experience hassle free, such a nice guy!

Our one bedroom unit on the ground floor was very spacious and comfortable and surprisingly quiet being right on a main road. Lots of off road parking.

Superb well priced merivale accomodation
Superb host. Amazing clean fresh renovation. Very pleased. One thing that must be considered is there is no air conditioner. For me a must for any accomodation.
