6/10 Good

The hotel was close to Sunshine hospital where we were visiting. The room was okay, shower was quite nice. The single bed was very cold as too close to the window and hard and lumpy. Overall not bad for the money. A bottle of water would have been appreciated.

Average Stay

Very average accommodation but as a motor inn I wouldnt expect anything too fancy. Waited at check in for 5-10mins before someone actually realised I was there. Check in process was quick and easy. Went to the restaurant onsite and was overcharged $14 we didnt get a receipt so were told we couldnt get a refund which was annoying. Beds were comfy, pillows the opposite. Overall average stay, wouldnt say it was worth the price. But would return if only using accommodation for sleeping which is what we used it for.
Natalie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not up to standard. Broken toilet bowl, mould in the shower. Not clean.
