I wish the fridge had a freezer, though they did supply an ice bucket which a staff member filled for me. Glad to see recycling bins. These are often missing in hotels/motels.

Rooms are dated, not particularly clean. I noticed the fan in my bathroom and the AC unit were filthy (and incredibly noisy but I could forgive that). Looked like mould on the ceilings but couldn’t be sure. Linens were actually very clean though, so in terms of a place to sleep, it was fine.

The staff were helpful and courteous. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a kitchenette. Only thing was the pots and pans weren't sufficient so we had to go buy so we could make supper. Only bad thing found was the bathroom exhaust fan was disgustingly dirty. We very much enjoyed our stay tho.

I was reprimanded for not calling to advise we would be checking in late (10:15 pm or so), even though I’m sure I said that when booking. We had to ask kitchen staff for ice (no machine), and did not get housekeeping. Rooms are dated and in need of a handyman, but otherwise seemed clean enough

The motel had cancelled our room leaving us without options in the town. We had chosen the option of paying at the motel upon arrival when we booked well in advance. The motel seeing the opportunity to get more for the room cancelled our room without notification. We had to drive 80 km to find another room. Very frustrating and poor practice on the part of the motel. They tried to blame it on Expedia but this was not the case.

Was a good spot for the night. Didn't try the restaurant. Close to the museum and other activities we wanted to see. Excellent and very friendly staff. Cleaners used are very strong, it overtakes the entire room. So if you are scent sensitive, you'd have problems. It's an older property and it shows but it's a quiet place for a good sleep.

Ok staff were great. The room smell was horrible. Dirty/ Musty? The air unit was full of dust, the walls has spider webs and bugs, the light unit in the centre of the room was FULL of flies, I kept that light off because it was so unnerving. I had wet wipes and went over the places I had to touch and literally left the unit cleaner when leaving. Not sure what I was expecting but this wasn’t great. Will camp outside next time.
