“drab room and 'awkward' bathroom”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

We used the hotel for accommodation only, so I cannot comment on the food and beverages it offers. We stayed in a standard double room. The room was compact but comfortable and offered reasonable sleeping conditions. Although the room appeared to have been refurbished relatively recently, the decor was drab and dreary; something accentuated by the brown faux wood-grain cabinetry.... More

“Comfortable”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 via mobile

I stayed recently at this motel and found it to be clean, warm and comfortable. The food was pretty good, however in my opinion the beef & reef could have less garlic sauce (can't please everyone I guess). Breakfast was enjoyable with a choice of continental or continental and something cooked. The staff were friendly and in my dealings with... More

Overall the room was quite comfortable and this review would of been an excellent one however the owners need to have a chat to the cleaners as we did not particularly appreciate the cleaners trying to get in our room on three different occasions before 9.45. They were also very noisy from very early on. We filled out the rubbish... More

We had planned on staying two (not-sequential) nights, but only managed to stay for one due to a booking mix-up (they had us down for the 2nd night on the wrong weekend). The hotel is very clean and well appointed, with helpful front-of-house staff. There's a real issue with parking when the motel gets fuller. The room was warm and... More

Room was quite nice and staff were nice enough. Getting from the room to the underground carpark after hours was extremely difficult.
