Anna, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great little place to stay. Right in the middle of the town, so everything is within walking distance.
Sharnelle, 1-night trip

Well situated accommodation for an overnight stay. Small rooms, but fine for a place to sleep and recharge.

Amol, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was not the one in the picture but that was not the issue the whole place was freezing cold including the kitchen and tv area so unusable it took 3 hours to get my room to above freezing and lucky I had extra blankets as the heater only took the chill off . The bench oven needs a clean it stunk with rancid fat. Probably a lovely place to stay in summer or winter when the whole heating system is working but not this time of the year . Off my stop over list

helen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing:)

It was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. However, the water pressure in the bathroom is too weak. Other than that, it was very amazing.
Minkyung, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Awesome stuff very helpful
Matthew, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Ok for a night's stay but not ideal for business travel. Shared bathroom and the beds were uncomfortable
Alexx, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Thin walls, hard bed and a dusty room. A safe place to rest my head but not the comfort I was looking for after a trudge round Mount Doom.
2-night trip

8/10 Good

A comfortable and warm stay

We had a one night stay at this motel. The room was very comfortable and warm. It was just a shame there was no kettle or tea and coffee in the room. A bit of a pain having to walk around to the shared kitchen every time you wanted a drink. There was ample free parking and the room was quiet. The motel was pretty much in the centre of town and very walkable to everywhere.
Mesquita, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Clean but not exactly worth the money

Very clean and very new. However, very small and doesn’t have essentials like a wardrobe to hang up your clothes. Basically living in a cabin but paying motel-hotel kind of prices.
1-night trip

6/10 Okay

A bit noisy, near road
Graham, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Pros and Cons - clean and convenient

Clean, tidy and comfortable enough for a short stay, and very convenient to everything. However at the price I would expect the ensuite room to have its own fridge, jug and tea & coffee, but it did not have any of these. These were available in the shared access kitchen, dining, lounge area, but a single refrigerator for many rooms & people is never going to work well. As the place also has hostel / backpacker style shared accommodation, you can’t leave your own milk, bread, butter, or drinks in a shared fridge or cupboard and expect them to be left unused by others.
