A very warm welcome from the couple we are guessing who owned the motel 😊 upgraded us so we could have a room with a balcony if we wished to sit outside. Tea, coffee and milk facilities was a nice welcome and biccys too. Shower nice and powerful. Great that there was bowls, plates and cutlery in the room. The microwave helped too as mean we didn't have to go out for meals. Perfect for a backpacking couple trying to keep budgets down. No noise at night slept very well for the 2 nights we were there. Much needed after a rough few weeks in the rooftop tent. Thank you!
Honestly not much I can say that we didn't like. Only thing we wished was that despite it being cheaper than most places nearby if it could have been under $100 a night we would have likely stayed a little longer.

nice and clean, perfect overnight stop. fresh milk and biscuits were a nice touch. after hours lock box to check in was very convenient and I was given very clear instructions via text.
other guests not respecting the no noise after 9 rule, a big family was very loudly unloading their car, a lot of doors slamming, voices travelling.. the walls I guess must be pretty thin because I got woken up early by someone hocking and loudly clearing their sinuses. not the fault of the staff obviously, just hard to block the noise out of other guests really.

It was great for a long drive from Sydney with my 2 kids. I was slightly worried when I got there it being on a main Rd. Didn't hear a thing. The lady working their was very nice and very friendly and we felt so welcome. The shower was so nice and powerful it was better than my one at home. The bed was comfy and we all slept so well. It was great there was a pool there too. I'd make a regular stop over on trips to and from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast .

Convenient location. A small fenced garden area with a lovely green lawn for this this particular room was a bonus. The owner was on site and was both friendly and obliging with local information for us. There is an Asian restaurant directly next door and we had an excellent meal there - with no travel time. River street is rather noisy during the day but that eases off as night approaches and we weren't bothered by it. The room was definitely larger than most places and was scrupulously clean. I would recommend this motel.
Nothing needed improvement.

Loved the size of the family room, great value for money. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent location, only a short walk to pubs, clubs and shopping. Showers had extremely good water pressure. Would recommend staying here. Definitely will come back for a visit. Kids loved the comfort of the beds, including pull out sofa.
Unfortunately for us having a taller vehicle the clearance on front entrance wasn't high enough (massive land crusier with 2 inch lift and roof storage), but had rear access for taller vehicles.

I like the coziness of the room. It felt like your own special place. Everything was wonderful especially the staff. It was convenient and good value for money.
The only issue I had was the water basin being not readily available in the kitchen and had to use the basin in the bathroom. Also, the beds for being too high it was a bit dangerous for my baby. But then thanks to the rollers on the bed we were able to move it. Also, ensure the noticeboard for the hotel to be more visible as there were plenty of hotels next tk it and the lane to turn right from the highway was only a bit, could easily be missed out when driving.

Motel is walking distance to shops and restaurants. Rooms have been updated and have facilities for tea or snack making. Nice to have biscuits for cuppa when arrive. Staff and managers were friendly and helpful. Our room for this trip was in front with courtyard to sit and relax which was a nice treat! Some rooms are up 1 flight of stairs which hasn’t bothered us !
Nothing to not like

The hospitality. That old school motel owner promoting where to eat what to do in the local community. Mentioned we already had reservations to a bar/restaurtant he happened to have been to a week earlier and that kicked off a conversation. It's those little things that make a difference.
I have no complaints it is what it is billed as, has ample bedding, pillows etc.
