Excellent accomodation, clean & modern looking with everything matching the advertised description. Only negative was some very noisy neighbours and some traffic noise, being right on the main road through Karuah. Staff very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Is only when you arrive that you find out there is no one in attendance. It's not difficult, but as you can't check your phone whilst driving, it's a bit daunting when you get there and there's no one around. When you get your phone out to ring the number, that's when you read their text and it's all sorted. Quiet, clean and accessible to the town.

It is what it it is …an older budget motel but with the best price on the list, We would have no hesitation to stay here again —I rated it “average” in everything because nothing was “poor”….the one person staffing the motel was couteous and approachable but not onsite for most of the stay.
