Noisy neighbours
Noisy neighbours led to very little sleep for all. Lack of after hours management to monitor behaviour meant a disruptive night for all other guests

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

It is not culturally safe or hygenic to mix your food areas and washing areas- have to gather water from bathroom to drink or to wash eating utensils. Otherwise very adequate with staff who take care.
