Good size room. Super comfortable beds!!! Rooms are really warm, double glazing, I assume insulated walls and ceiling. Bathroom needs updating, but totally functional and nothing to stress about.

Ali, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I thought the room was very good for the money. Stayed a week and only had one night with noisy people next door which could happen anywhere. Had use of laundry which was great. Decent sized room as well.
Janice, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok, so the room was lovely, really nice clean and spacious. Comfy beds and well priced. It was in a good location for the event we were attending. However, the walls are extremely thin we heard everything word for word including room #1 having a great time til 4:30am. Also there was no hair dryer which I’ve never come across and was a little annoying.
Corrin, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Recently refurbished, great shower, no carpet on the floors so all rooms very noisy, staff need to go on a cleaning course.

4/10 Fair

This motel has off site office. You have to drive there and then have drive to motel. The shower head was leaking and pink mold in the shower. Cheap bathroom. So far away town in unsafe suburb. No Sky Tv. Hear everything people doing in there room. At office they want credit card and license. When go out come into room to change things most motel not do this now problems. Office staff fake and rude.

Perfect for what we needed and cost was reasonable.
Kiri, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Nice & clean, white linen, over all was very good. But we had 3 people staying, with only 2 glasses, 1 cup, 2 dinning chairs? The biggest disappointment was the lack of sound proofing, coming from upstairs we could hear everyone walking, everything they dropped, doors, water running, even talking from next door. We where there for a sports tournament around the corner, with 7am starts so just needed a bit of quiet. Oh the unlimited wifi was great, shower, hot water great, bathroom just needed somewhere to hang towels and shelf for toiletries, makeup etc.

4/10 Fair

Clean unit.... BUT thats where it ended. We booked 2 rooms for 6 adult women. We had just completed a 3 day Badminton tournament and had the final function that night at the Hamilton Gardens. We had to ask twice to have the sofa beds in each room made up. There was NO hand soap on the basin and this during Covid. No shampoos or basic shower soap. Only 2 towels provided. We had 2 ask for an extra towel... despite the booking in the room for 3 adults. Minimal milk provided.... allowance for 1 cup only.. WIFI advertised but not functioning. Poor standard for a nearly new Motel. Not Recommended.
