Really unique motel, needs a little refresh and breakfast (and cost for young kids) was disappointing, but it's quirky, well located and worth the room rate.

We loved the buffet breakfast, the staff were lovely. The room was very dated & old, but certainly served the purpose, the mattress was far too soft, as someone that loves a soft mattress I found it too soft. Personal preference I guess. Overall we enjoyed the stay, for the price we paid including breakfast I guess we can’t complain. It served a purpose for us at short notice. Location is within town centre so that was good also. The pool could do with some plants and some fencing /privacy, might make it more appealing visually. Thanks

The mattress was great and so was the location but unfortunately a few things took away from that. The main light in the room was flickering so couldn’t be used. There was a child lock on the tv so couldn’t watch anything over an MA15 rating. No toilet paper was a problem. Luckily they had tissues in the bathroom!! And the shower was mouldy. Yes I could have called reception but after travelling for hours, we couldn’t be bothered and just went to sleep. I would have bought it up with reception the next morning but she served me while she was talking on the phone so I left.

Just a little more than you would expect.
Really wanted to express out appreciation for the cleanliness and attention to our room. Never did we think we would receive daily service to our room. Breakfast was nothing overly special, however my husband could not believe full sausages with scrambled eggs, I liked the fact they had fresh orange juice from a machine squashing oranges, and fresh coffee frim a machine which tasted better than the Novotel we had come from in Melb. Not only that, but we got a bag of washing done and dried for a very reasonable amount and back in our room before early afternoon. Got to say guys, you helped us out and did not shirk from anything we asked. Hospitality at its best.

Definitely has potential but facility needs work and more staff to cover basic needs. Didn’t get much sleep because of guests walking above creating noise. Toilet didn’t flush properly . Bathroom taps and shower taps were leaking and nearly came off in my hand. Television came on at 1:15am by itself and continued to do this every 15 minutes until turned off at the outlet.
