Ok for a stop over
If you’re looking for a no frills overnight stay that gets the job done then this place is ok. It’s very much an older style motel that does need a spruce up. The room we stayed in was functional and had comfortable beds, but as for the decor and bathroom well as an eighties child it did bring back memories!

Great place to stay, just out of town, but not too far not to walk. Room was great, comfy bed, and quiet, even though there was a wedding somewhere, I didn't hear a peep.

Clean and spacious
Stayed here a few times now as it was accessible to attending an event at GMHBA stadium which is walkable. The room was very spacious and comfortable and has crockery and a microwave for heating food.

There’s Better!
Greeting on arrival not friendly - felt rushed and disinterested in answering enquiries of the local area.
Rooms were of a basic standard.
Pool was filthy - wouldn’t dip my toe in it - and we were there in summer during a heatwave. Didn’t look like it had been cleaned for quite a while.
A very ordinary stay.

Maintenance needed
Have stayed here many times and usually pretty good. This visit was a little disappointing but the bed was comfortable. The television channels were on the tv but not all working. The fridge is quite small and can’t fit much in it. The microwave hadn’t been cleaned and the bench hadn’t been wiped down. Electrical fittings near the front door wasn’t flush against the wall and was loose.
