The main room was absolutely fine, but the inside door handle of the bathroom (both rooms we booked) was loose, meaning that it was very easy to get stuck inside the bathroom!! Best get that fixed ASAP. Otherwise, great location, clean and tidy, reasonably priced.

We were very happy with our stay here. Fantastic check in with a friendly face. The rooms (we booked two) were great, very clean and we loved the individual themes and the decor to match. The folder in the room with information about the motel itself and the surrounding areas (including menus) and the artist/theme of the room you were in was very comprehensive and a lovely touch. Certainly made our stay that much better because of it. Thank you

Internet connection was weak and pretty much non-existent. Television didn’t go at all. Was not able to chrome cast as stated in the room brochure. Manager tried to help but advised me the internet connection to the room was too weak. The room was freezing and has a small heater that took hardly warmed the room. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

The room was clean and tidy. The bathroom is cramped but functional. The kitchenette is functional but is also cramped. Power points are difficult to access. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean. It was a short walk to the shops on Broadway, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores nearby.
