I stayed in unit 8 - I was really happy with the location of the motel, also how quiet it was. The check in was a breeze, very lovely welcome. I was very very impressed with how clean my whole room and bathroom was- it was next level. I had a lovely balcony to have a cuppa tea and dinner on. I am definitely staying there from now on when I'm in CHC. The mall was straight across the road, loads of eateries to choose from. The bed was super comfortable.!!
