It would have been really good if the fire alarm did not go off twice in a row and we had to evacuate twice, which was unfortunate and out of the control of the owners - but it did not make for a very good nights sleep!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Cold, strange layout, heat pumps and heaters don’t work, bathroom heater doesn’t work. Staff rude and unhelpful. I had got a spray tan while in town and had brought my own sheets and pillows to avoid ruining theirs and my pillow was taken, then they lied about having it and then phoned me up after both myself and my partner having asked for my belongings back, they told me I had in fact not brought my pillow and it was already at my house. Then they called to tell me they miraculously found it in my room when they stripped the bed on the bed even though I had left the bed already stripped from the process of looking for my stuff. Following this, I asked to be sent my things and they refused as I had “forgotten” it and it was not their responsibility. Absolutely terrible.

Was expecting to get the two bedroom motel room as booked but ended up getting a three bedroom house which was down the road. House was old but clean and tidy, however not what we expected and would have preferred the motel complex as booked.(as house in the front and road traffic noisy from Riccarton Rd.)

Across the road from mall and far enough away from the road so no traffic noise.

The family that run this motel are delightful and nothing was a bother. Rooms are renovated and basically brand new. Close to restaurants, pubs and Westfield shops. Couldn't really fault this motel
