Reviewed May 12, 2026The check in process was seamless because we had been texted the room number and key code to enter the unit before we arrived. The place was immaculately clean; the facilities were top-notch and appliances were good brands that included a Fisher and Paykel dishdrawer, Nespresso machine, an enormous smart tv in the lounge and smaller ones in each bedroom; and a Bose bluetooth speaker. The location was another plus factor as we were within two blocks to the heart of town. Would return again someday.

Reviewed Mar 6, 2026This older style model has been completely renovated to such a high standard, providing everything the modern traveller might need . Conveniently placed charging ports, a great kitchenette, a clean bathroom with an excellent shower as well as laundry facilities. The keyless entry / exit via a code made for an easy check out . It was quiet and extremely comfortable.
The only thing that I found difficult was operating the washer and dryer combo without any instruction manual. Also, I felt very embarrassed having to disturb the owner as Reception was closed. As an e-motel the code to use to enter the electronically coded door lock is sent to you electronically but as my phone was flat after a full day of travelling I hadn’t received it.
