We had trouble with the hot water and also had trouble locking both the screen door and the glass door the locks on both doors need to be replaced. Value for money, I’m not sure
A good place to stay if you are on a budget.
It was clean, easy to get in and park. Beds were comfy. Walls a but thin could hear next door easily. Tv could have been bigger woth a better selection of channels. Staff were friendly
Motel was clean and near a shopping centre, room was comfortable and no traffic noise. Only issue was no remote for the tv and no one at the office to ask for one. Other than that all was good.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Second Time Staying
Room was very comfortable however noise from adjoining room and carpark was disturbing.
Good layout in family room. Could do with a few more security features. Had all the basics. We stopped there one night en route. Arrived late and checked in via kiosk which was easy.

Disliked: Room comfort
Over rated!!
Disappointed that advertised breakfast room service (limited). But nothing available. King bed very old mattress sunk into it as soon as lay down. Pillows lumpy not a very comfortable sleep. Also only Chanel’s on tv Chanel 9 and SBS friends stayed at caravan park and they even had cable tv and paid much less!!!!
