Overall a pretty good property. The staff were fantastic and wonderful to talk to. The unit was clean and tidy. The only negative was there wasn't too much around and you need a car, but I'd still recommend the property for a well priced stop-over.

Very clean, comfy bed, lovely warm unit, 7min walk to the hospital. Perfect wee kitchenette that had everything i needed to prepare my meals. My only gripe would be the lack of secure window ventilation latches. I love to air out my room securely whilst im out. Easy fix tho. I will definitely be back

Well it was the best one out of 6 hotels we stayed at during our trip. It’s definitely worth the price and was given an upgrade upon arrival. It’s really worth the money.

This motel is quiet, clean and well appointed (love the spa bath) and has the attention to detail that I enjoy in any motel. Things like the biscuit with the hot drinks, large size towels, (and plenty of them), free Sky movies all added that touch of enjoyment to our stay.

Relax on the Spacious Balcony

A very comfortable, roomy, clean stay with enough supplies to cook your own stovetop food. We loved relaxing on the balcony listening to birds in this quiet neighborhood an easy walk from downtown. Manager was very friendly.

I stayed overnight, friendly staff but there is no aircon in the bedroom and the queen/double size bed was put together with two single bed mattress and it’s very soft. My back was very discomfortable so I have to sleep on the floor after being awaken by the discomfort.

It was such a shame the bathroom was minute and only big enough for a toilet and a tiny shower cubicle that you had to climb up into. No bath mat so I slipped when getting out. Not sure how this place got 4 stars.

The room was quiet and had everything you need for a 1 night stay.
Staff need to ensure if the fire alarm activates there is a full and proper investigation of the property as the alarm was just reset without any checking of the remainder of the property. If the procedure was followed correctly the Fire Brigade should have been called.
