The staff was effusively welcoming, and this was the best bed/shower quality combination I have experienced in the south end thus far!

Stayed here for one night and it was ok.
Unfortunately I think I looked at the newest refurbished rooms pictures (but turns out that’s not what I booked!) when we arrived it was quite different to what we imagined.
Staff were lovely offered for us to upgrade our room for the extra $$. We stayed in our original room in the end and it was fine. Good quiet location and big property.

The room was fantastic! So much room. The location was excellent too - close to everything. The check in / check out was easy and the staff were super friendly. Getting some free milk was a bonus.

Clean, updated rooms Great for a family or a couple
Laundry service extremely well organised. Although there was not a supermarket close at hand (for foot traffic), there was a wonderful restaurant nearby. On the whole t motel is centrally located. E Hayes about 1.5 km away, and Bill Richardson Museum 3 km from town. The hostess and family were so helpful. Kitchen and facilities well appointed
