Welcomed on arrival with a good chat, then another good chat on the way out. Room was way above what I thought it may be. I have a new favourite place to book a room now when I stay at the Island. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could.

Coming in from the cold day to check in, friendly staff, heater was on in the room, spotless room. It was so nice I was looking for the log fire and hot chocolate. Great parking with wide access all around your car. Just a pleasant stay.

Room was clean and they had the heater on for us which was nice cause it was freezing and raining when we arrived. Rooms are cleaned daily and restocked with essential items like- milk, coffee, shampoo soap and fresh towels. Play ground kept the kids entertained and could see the kids from the whole motel- pool wasn’t open but could see it looking nice and clean. Staff where very friendly on arrival and when out in the motel walking around, cleaners were lovely greeting us during our stay. Would definitely stay again, reasonable priced, very close to everything which was good

The staff were very understanding when I explained that my elderly husband needed a bit more time to vacate the room. (We didn't abuse their good will.) Clean, pleasant room, tidy grounds, good location.
