While it was a comfortable Queen Room, with a view, it was out dated and drab. The shower was clean enough though there was ‘gunk’ in the bottom of the screen door. Their reception staff however were wonderfully polite and friendly.

This property is well maintained and easy access. Although it is getting a little dates and does have a bit of an older styled motel vibe, it’s clean and well presented. They have done well to make it look good and appealing. Car parking was free and wasn’t an issue for us but it did seem to be full by evening. Information about checkout was limited and hard to find information on, however it is just as any other hotel runs. Drop box for early checkout and need to settle accounts before departure.

This has been my second time staying here. I totally love the Ground Floor Queen room/suite. The only thing I had a problem with was the tap in bathroom was tricky and I ended up with water sprayed over me.😂 Would definitely stay again.
