Detailed Reviews
Clean room for our quick stopover. There are signs of a recent tidy up of bathroom but not to a high standard - the towel rail was only siliconed on and so fell off. We only expected to get in late, sleep and leave early. The room and bed were comfortable, plenty of hot water for the shower and nice and quiet. Good for a short stay, easy to find.

We only stayed one night but I was impressed by the cleanliness and price of the room. Wifi was good. Only minus we had was there was no coat hangers in the room and no bath mat and towel rail - little things like this do make a difference.

We stayed for 2 nights in room 19. It was in the second row from the road and had no road noise. The shower was good. We had our own wifi so can’t comment on the wifi on offer. Netflix was included. The fridge has a little freezer. The unit had tea/ coffee 2 bowls and 2 plates. It was close to a pub across the road, 5 min walk.
The bed was comfy and the ac worked well.
There were a number of other travellers here and families as well.
I think the pool has been filled in but the bbq area is still there although We didn’t use it.
Checkin was easy.

We stayed two nights. The accommodation was appalling for $85 a night. The kitchen cupboards were swollen with water damaged creating mould, smell and cockroaches. There was only two knives and forks in the cutlery draw and cockroaches. Pillows small, and pillow slips did not fit them. The place was dusty. Also a large gap underneath the door. I do not recomend this place. Its facebook page says it is under new management. I wonder what the health inspector would say to the state of the rooms.

Thank you for your review Ruth W, it is unfortunate that you did not enjoy your stay. The motel has since changed owners and names to Q Express Motel. We feature fully refurbished rooms, with all the comforts of home. We hope that next time you are in the area you will stop by. Kindest Regards, Georgina Smith

The hotel has prostitutes working there with some of the room right across from the swimming pool, so people coming and going on most nights. What topped it off for me was one of the prostitutes trying to convince a client to stay while walking out in the car park in a see through nighty.
Not a place for a family to visit
