My toddler and I had a great stay. It was warm, clean and tidy and the porta cot was fantastic! The staff also gave us a box of toys for her to play with and she loved the whole trip.

Such a quiet spot given it is right next to the highway. The service was amazing! Such a great place for families because it is so close to the botanic gardens and the playgrounds there.

A pleasant motel, prices vary from day to day which can make it expensive in comparison to some 4 stars.
