The staff were amazing - friendly and helpful with great service.
The room was clean, tidy and had everything I needed.
Plenty of parking and walking distance to shops.
Thankyou.
Staff were really helpful, especially when getting extra towels for us when we had a last minute extra person. The room was nice and tidy with everything we needed.
Our room was great just the young people next door were so loud both nights I had to ask them to keep it down & that was @2am. No respect for anyone staying there.
We were passing through on our way to Thredbo. Fitness for purpose perfect! Comfortable & clean! Easy to find, electronic check in was efficient and plenty of room in the suite to accommodate us all.
The accommodation is good. Vèry central location and alomg the riverside. The rom was good as it was spacious and clean. Safe parking on site too. I did have problems logging on to the internet using the hotel wifi. I definitely wil stay here again rhe next time.
Clean, neat and convenient motel, great quality for a budget option. The automated check in was a little impersonal but went smoothly and was efficient. I would definitely stay again!
Very good motel for one night who is on the way.
For the represented standard very clean,
And dog friendly, very important for my family
We recommend that please.
Check-in process is easy (self serve / contactless) and the room is clean, spacious and most importantly, dog friendly. I was traveling with my dog and the room was spacious enough to put my dog bed. The bathroom had good hot shower and generally in good condition. I would definitely stay here again.
