The walls are made of a very thin layer of probably cardboard and plaster. I could hear the kids next door though they were not being loud. Every little knock could be heard. I dont blame the neighbours but you can feel how thin the walls are. I knocked on it and was surprised how thin and weak it felt.... More

To kick start our holiday and be closer to the airport for our morning flight, we decided to stay here. It was clean and had everything we needed. We were upstairs and furthest from the road - which is constantly used by trucks. The bed was comfy and the spa bath was fun. Very friendly and helpful staff. Was able... More

We dropped a Scotties car off at the motel and stayed the night. The room was large, very clean and the bed and seating comfortable. We thought it good value for money and the free courtesy car service to the airport excellent. Reception staff very friendly and efficient. We would certainly choose to stay here again.

We needed to stay close to the airport because our friend was leaving at a different time than we were and there is a free shuttle service to the airport. Hotels rooms are nice, roomy, well equipped and clean. The only downside is that there are no restaurants in walking distance.

We stayed there for one night after arriving at the airport and not wanting far to travel. A slight mix up with our booking was soon resolved. We had booked a one bedroom unit and the main room contained another bed (single), table & chairs, and a kitchenette. However there was very little storage space. The bathroom had a shower... More

It’s a great, inexpensive place to stay. We stayed there for just one night while we were in between holiday apartments. The proprietor, Ramesh and his wife, are wonderful people.
