Booked for one night, room was clean and included everything that you would need including free WiFi. Enjoyed dinner in restaurant and had a very nice breakfast the following day. The restaurant manager was particularly attentive and very obliging.

The manager Jack Chen kindly moved us to Room 33 on G/F. According to Jack, the room was newly renovated. Maybe the carpet had not been replaced because there... More

Agree with SydneySarah055. Certainly not 4star and bathroom very small, especially the shower cubicle. Staff very helpful and free wifi but not operational over the 2 days we were there. Would find somewhere different next time.

We stayed just one very hot evening, the room was pleasant, the air conditioner was excellent! Our room was very quiet even though the motel is located on a busy main road, there was no road noise at all. We dined in the restaurant, the food was excellent & the staff team were friendly & obliging.

Our room towards the rear of the property was quite old, but clean & comfy. The bathroom is very small & the shower cubicle would be quite tricky for larger people. The bed was very comfortable & breakfast excellent, Staff at check in & check out were very friendly.

Dear John V, Thank you for your review. As with most hotels we do require a refundable bond if guests do not have a credit card. We regret that this upset you. As a result you asked for your booking to be cancelled and we were happy to do this at short notice for no charge. Kind regards, Dinar Malek... More
