Dean, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

We chose this motel mainly because it was handy to the railway station. The Wi Fi in our room was absolutely hopeless, the dining/sitting area was quite small, we did however have a comfortable stay.
Larry, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly, helpful staff. Great shower. Room clean and well stocked. Could do with some hooks in the bathroom to hang towels.
Val, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The receptionist was helpful, room is quite clean inside (I wondered as it is like a flat with 2 bedrooms with more than 2 beds). The motel and carpark area maybe an old building. The other guests who talked in loudly voices may disturb my peaceful stayed. Thank you for helpful information about the Mana Cruising club.
