There is no sound proofing, prepare to hear everything around you. No workers stay over night so you are unable to call the office if there are other people being extremely loud past the 10pm mark. Ok if you don’t have kids and just want a place to sleep.

AMAZING Hotel, 5 Stars!

I absolutley LOVED this hotel and wish we would have been able to stay here longer. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were adorable, clean, quiet, safe, comfortable and made us not want to leave. I would 1,000% come back here! 5 stars!

Good all round motel

Staff friendly. Location good for walking into town. Certainly a little dated but clean. Walls are thin as expected but other than some loud neighbours it seemed quiet. Good value for money. Would recommend as a cheaper option in the area.
