Good price clean rooms, good customer service just a little noisy as you can hear other guests at night moving about and night time activities 😂

Heater and fridge didn't work 6 nights. Asked first 2 nights then gave up. Didn't refund last night's, I gave them 20 hours notification

Unhealthy room (mould), poorly maintained (broken tap, heater blocked drain), overpriced and small. This motel is in serious need of cleaning, drying out and basic maintenance. The manager/owner was very nice but this motel is not up to scratch.
Amanda Edwards
Absolutely great place to stay, very clean, tidy and the hosts were incredible, nothing was too much trouble. Short walk to mall & restaurants. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to friends.

Highly recommend stayed 2 nights. The owner agreed to a very late check in with no problem at all. Unit was very clean, beds were comfortable. Great location across from the mall. Had no trouble parking on site. Owner was very approachable. Will definitely be staying there again
