Yes it needs a bit of maintenance and the furniture is looking a bit tired but it's good value for money.
Beds are quite soft which suited me.
Water pressure is wonderful. All the basics are there, heaters worked really well.
One negative is some mold growth on bedroom window and around bath. Wouldn't take much to fix..
Definitely recommend if your budget is a bit compressed!

Very welcoming staff, great service, fairly priced unit, plenty of space. Drawbacks: motel not clearly visible from the road, easy to miss and drive past, uncomfortable mattress (to be fair, they usually are horrible in all such places), rather noisy auto bathroom fan.

Only saw the staff when I arrived and when I couldn't lock the door he said I hadto slam it to lo k, he was right. The curtain above the main bed wasn't on the tracks properly which let in alot of light early morning and after speaking to some locals they said that motel was known for prostitues, homeless and drug dealers but thats only hearsay I didn'tsee any goings on, the furniture was awful, but I'm home now never to go back there again Cheers

The amenities and spacious rooms for a budget motel were great. Beds were comfortable, kitchen (with microwave) was roomy, 2 TVs included in our 2 room apartment, with guest laundry facilities and ample bench space for luggage, carry bags etc. Traffic noise was not not intrusive and dissipated at night. For a basic, clean accommodation I would be happy to stay again.

Tired and unloved

The room had the facilities promised, but it's a tired shadow of what it could be. Everything needed cleaning and maintenance. We washed up and I tightened the handles on the saucepans BEFORE cooking. The curtains were torn and hung on too-few runners. I rehung them before we went to sleep to stop light coming in.

Arrived on Thursday 6th Feb late afternoon and was greeted by a man who could not speak much English, I tried to pay but he didnt understand and then after checking my Company Credit card found it had been charged through the booking platform which is quite inconvienient. The decor of the Unit was very dated and you could have timewarped back to the 70's, on a positive note, unit was clean and tidy, bed was comfortable, each unit had netflix but was sharing the same account.

Sofa uncomfortable but rest of rooms were perfect and I would recommend to any travellers

Over the top service.

Check in was a breeze. They even went out of the way to set up the heater so it wouldn't be cold and also put milk in the fridge. Service was second to none. The room was rustic but in clean satisfactory condition. The stay was quiet. The internet was buggy and I had a hard time keeping a connection sometimes but it was workable. I also appreciated that they worked with me to facilitate a package coming to them that I was expecting from Auckland.

The motel was fine. Shared laundry area on site which was helpful, check in was easy. A bit older in style and didnt have proper heating, but oil heaters and extra blankets were provided in the room and it was warm enough. Limited cooking gear but enough to make basic food. It felt like housekeeping didnt really come in, and we did have to ask for clean towels as they hasnt been replaced, but overall it was not a bad stay
