Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Pool was not heated. No electric blankets. Very dated flooring, couch was filthy, and the road noise kept us awake all night, even though it stated sound proof?? Unusual leads running t.V with extention cords, defiantly wouldn't stay again. Add an extra $30 a night and you can get a lot better

Walking distance to SH
When we arrived to check in around 2.30 there was no on at the reception. Once we got the key we found out our room was not cleaned. The previous guests sheets were all over the place. I wasn’t sure if the bed sheets were even replaced. We had to wait for 15 min to get the room done. They left only less 1/4 toilet roll for 5 of us who stayed for 3 days. Loud construction noise was not stop until around 10.30pm and the beds maybe old bed so loose firmness. This motel was the cheapest so I guess it is what it is. Very handy if you want to go to sovereign hill and city centre. Despite all of that i would not mind to come back for short trip.

Very basic and outdated, that being said if you are looking for a place to lay your head then it's fine. Pool area looks like it needs a lot of maintenance but it's functional as is everything in the room Bathroom facilities are outdated and the beds, are extremely soft in fact to soft.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were helpful and friendly but our room was a bit grubby and hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly before our stay.
Clean, quiet, comfortable bed & room, upstairs, with the use of a heated indoor pool, which was lovely & relaxing to have a swim before going out for dinner.
Lovely overnight stay
Great friendly staff
Grounds overall are good maybe a bit of a clean up of weeds and mowing of lawn to make the place a bit tidier
Great pool
The property was like stepping back in time. The shower water flowed out of the shower and into the toilet area and into a separate drain leaving the entire bathroom floor wet.
Nice and clean, comfy bed and absolutely fine for an in out overnight stay but not near any conveniences or centre of town. Not a problem since you would assume that a motel patron has a car. Easy in and out procedure with a code for your door texted to you so you can arrive and check out any time.
The whole experience was positive and the property was very well equipped and very clean
Thank you to reception for considering our age by shifting us to a downstairs room, superior to what we had booked. Very much appreciated.
Would return in the future.

Comfortable, freshly painted, however some of the banister rails upstairs were completely rotted through so a potential danger for children falling through.
