A good place to put your head down with comfortable beds and a little kitchen area. The shower was good. The parking was very good for our needs being two vehicles and a trailer plenty of room for security and fencing. The outside Area is all concrete so don’t expect a garden the rooms were very good. A little noise from the main road at night.

Single-glazed windows right on SH1 meant I could hear every truck throughout the night. Terrible sleep! Also, the walls were thin so I could also hear the snorer next door. The shower was terrible... I could go on. However, I find in these situations that the manager is not the owner, and so has no ability to upgrade the property. The owner takes their lease payments and the manager apologises on their behalf. The manager of this property was very efficient and friendly.

The motel is very clean and tidy, it is convenient to the city but also to places around, the staff are friendly and helpful. the only minuses could be road noise if the unit is near the street, but it is not intrusive. The showers water supply and control could be improved. I was happy with my stay and have used this motel many times.

COMFORTABLE MOTEL
You have to call beforehand if you will arrive late since the Reception closes at night. They will give you instructions about your room no. and where to get the key. Overall it was a good stay and roomy enough for 3 people. I just wish though they'd put blackout curtains instead of vertical blinds since the glass facade is too big
