I cannot believe that this place has the nerve to charge what it does. If it wasn't for the fact that we were flying out early the next day and I would have lost my money I would have left. This place is so dated and grotty and really smells.the bathroom was appalling - the shower curtain was hanging on... More

The rooms are being renovated. We had a new room and it was nice. Couldn't find the light switches at first, but did eventually. Not a lot else wrong with the room. Criticisms are that: - the restaurant was average. Food only okay, expensive, pathetic service, and an odd room. - the wifi was nothing short of rubbish... they did... More

We chose motel for location and multiple rooms - delivered on both accounts, but very little else! The decor and fittings were very tired; the furniture was barely adequate, the kitchen small and basic. We thought that the bathroom was clean but still unpleasant: there were hints of grime and mould between cracks and around edges, the shower at least... More

We were planning to stay here just one night, but after 5 minutes of seeing the two bedroom accommodation we knew we had to leave straight away. The rooms are very old and tired. It was clean but we really felt that we could not stay. We found somewhere else to go and checked out quickly. So we can't really... More

Stayed in a two bedroom unit,,,nothing like photos....old and very dated..free 24 hour shuttle to airport is a real bonus but thought accommodation was overpriced for the standard of the room. Older rooms do not have the great water pressure mentioned in other reviews

Really close to the airport which is handy. Free shuttle (24 hours!) is even more handy! Rooms were modern and fresh, water pressure was so good it was painful... the only thing I can fault is the little blue LED lights on each power point/light switch. They end up illuminating the whole room and being slightly annoying. The 24hr food... More

So close to the airport with a "stay and park" option we chose this as the perfect stopping point. We got an older unit, this is because we choose the cheape roption - could have got a more modern unit if we wanted to pay more but we were very happy with what we got. Unit had a small kitchenette... More

we loved our beautiful room. :) it was clearly very new and had a shower with some of the best water pressure i've ever experienced. also, it is super close to airport and they make it very easy for you to be dropped off and picked up.

Great hotel - handy to airport but not too noisy. Nice new facilities. Only complaint would be there are no nearby shops except a small convenience store but no problem if you have a car. Free airport shuttle was handy too.

Airport shuttle was prompt and room, with rear garden patio, was a bonus. The availibility of a coin laundry on site was a godsend since we had just completed an 8 day campervan tour. The only gripe was the restaurant. They were busy, but my rare steak was delivered to another patron and upon complaining about the over cooked meat... More

Thank you for your review. Mistakes do happen, and on this night a rare and well done steak got mixed up. It is unfortunate that if the waitress didn't resolve the situation to you liking you didn't bring this up with the night manager or myself on the night or at check out. We pride ourselves on our service and... More
