While there the pool was closed for a short period due to 'guest vandalism'. The receptionist at the time was very accommodating as I'd planned to return in the not too distant future. No issue with rebooking !!

Room very clean with comfy bed and great shower so many positives, but my room was nothing like on the website. Very old. The QR scan on the mirror with motel details and breakfast orders didn’t work as I was wanting breakfast which had been advertised as available but unfortunately wasn’t. Very limited parking available. Overall for my brief stay it was good value for money very clean good shower an an aircon that works

The room was okay for the price point, the pool is lovely and has a great view. Don't forget they are un-manned after 6pm. Reception held onto our bags while we walked around Townville. All staff I meet including the room cleaner, maintenance gentlemen and reception staff were lovley.

Was a bit dirty, the restaurant was closed and has been for years apparently. The paint was coming off the wall, curtains didn’t close all the way and let light in through the night. Not a great experience overall
