We checked into this Motor Inn for three nights/ four days over new years as a holiday break. First impressions of the room were relatively good - we had a good sized two bedroom apartment that had a separate toilet and shower. It wasn't the largest place I have stayed in, but it was a comfortable size for four adults... More

Fair price, quiet location conveniently just a few blocks from town center. For our 3 adults, we had a room with twin beds in the first room where one enters, while main room tightly held a queen bed, a table and 2 chairs, and there was a balcony with table/chairs. Kitchen was fully equipped, though we had a good hot... More

This motor inn is modern, clean and very comfortable - but why didn't they put soundproofing in the walls and ceilings? We stayed one night, and could hear everything from the rooms around us - people's TVs, the kettle being boiled, the shower running, etc. If you like privacy and peace and quiet, unfortunately this won't be the place for...

the place is nice enough but don't trust them to remember to deliver the promised breakfast, sadly i did and as a result had to check out and go on my pre-planned 4-hour hike on an empty stomach, puts a serious downer on the whole trip, i won't go back. More

We stayed 2 nights in the Executive Spa Suite. The Customer Service was excellent. Off Street parking (which I prefer.) Our stay included Continental or Cooked Breakfast which was very nice. The rooms were exactly like the pictures showed (Which I find important - not trying to sell something that isn't) The accomodation was very clean and modern. Bed and... More

We have stayed here before, so knew the location was very handy to town. Our room was clean, and had everything we needed. With our stay, a complimentary breakfast was supplied. We had bacon and eggs, which also came with toast, and hash browns - a lovely, unexpected surprise, and great value. The only improvement I would suggest would be... More

We chose this motel based on Tripadvisor reviews and location as we wanted it to be a short walk from restaurants and shops. Modern and clean. We had a room without a view, our small portion of balcony(there's a very long partitioned one) was hovering on the neighbour's fence! We had complimentary breakfast (choice of bacon and eggs or continental)... More

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. We booked through wotif and got a one bedroom room including breakfast. Location was excellent, five min walk to shops and restaurants. Rooms were clean, bed was comfy and ours had a heat pump which was nice. The only thing I did feel was it was a little overpriced. We had our 15... More

My sister and I stayed for two nights at the end of August/beginning September. We booked through Wotif and were very happy with the deal we got as it included free cooked breakfast, delivered to our unit each morning. When we arrived, the lady on reception moved us from what would have been a room at the back of the... More
