I arrived at 136 On Bealey at about 10.30pm from.the airport. I was having a hypo and could not figure out the lock box for the key as I was disoriented. The lovely man that runs the motel came and opened it for me. While the motel is obviously aged, my room was comfortable, very clean and well presented, and the bed is I think the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on.i want to know the brand because seriously, I would buy one of these beds.
The location was great. The room rate is fabulous. All in all what a great stay.

Old dated motel, room had old towels. We had two nights there, second day we went out for the full day sightseeing and returning found our room wide open and propped open with door stopper. We could have been robbed and thought we were! We reported next morning and was told it was housekeeping and short staff, but this was a security issue, motel did not provide security for our room and belongings. Never experienced this ever,

Great place to stay for a quick business trip, centrally located. A little bit dated building but they have done a thorough refurbishment. Good value for what I have paid for

The bed was comfortable and the tv worked, that was about the only good thing here unfortunately. The room we booked was not the room we got, but the motel was fully booked that night no vacancies, so we got on with it. Shower pressure was bad and when the sink was used at the same time as someone was in the shower, the sink only gave out completely cold water. Some of the dishes in our room were not clean and parts of the room also weren’t clean. If you’re someone who struggles to sleep with any noises, don’t book here as the walls are paper thin we heard everything from the next room.

Never ever would I recommend this motel. I rang to cancel well in advance due to a bereavement. No sorry for your loss, and still charged me. Greed and heartless
