Room was very dusty. Looks like the table gets wiped and the floor vacuumed but a lot of dust on the heating/ air conditioner. Room on need of an update. Toilet roll holder falling off the wall. Staff were very nice and helpful, even after staying somewhere else we had to come back for a couple of toys that were lwdt behind. The staff kept them for usbuntil we could pick them up

Older style hotel.
Older style hotel including old furniture. There were even old accessories boxed over when new fittings installed. It was clean and comfortable. Road noise was too noisy.

Property is dated but functional. Clean, with adequate facilities for an overnight stay. Customer service needs a major effort. The office was closed most of the time. I was annoyed by the lack of consideration given to patrons who were not advised that power was to turned off by the local electricity supplier so that major works (all day) could be completed. The Motel would have been advised that this was to occur but patrons were not told. This would have enabled me to avoid being halfway through a shower when the power went off, as well as use kettle and toaster to prepare something for breakfast.

There was no wifi available when we were there. Only one glass and one pkt biscuits for two people. No towel rail in bathroom (it was broken). Only had free to air chanels on tv. Cigarette smell was quite strong in passage. On the plus side the bed was quite comfortable, although only one pillow per person. The shower was adequate with plenty of hot water. Overall not our best experience.

De

The positive is that the property is close to lots of shopping and dining options on High Street and at Northland. Good parking on site. However, we did not have a comfortable night sleep due to traffic noise on busy Bell Street. Suggest booking a room on ground floor on opposite side of Bell Street. In addition, the double bed mattress/base was so bad that it made both of us rolled towards the middle all night.
