Cover for Pouring Rain”

It was pouring rain for our arrival and through the evening so we did not get a good chance to look around. There seemed to be a small garden with a water feature which was pleasant. The room was clean; it served our purpose which was to sleep comfortably and get on with our travels. Our only interaction with staff was to check in and get our key. Frank

Not much choice in Murchison”

Clean, comfortable bed, nice view

We spent one night here to break a long journey. It was an extremely small unit. There was a fridge and a microwave but nowhere to eat inside and not enough tables / chairs outside for the row of units. There was no sink in the living area so we struggled to wash plates etc in a tiny bathroom basin. The beds were comfortable and the unit was clean. The manager was pleasant and friendly but I do think the accommodation is way over priced for what it is. I suppose this is because there is a lack of accommodation on this route.

Pricing, Renewed toilet/shower room, kitchenette.

The room is quite small with 2 beds. The overall decoration is fairly old except the newly remolded toilet/shower room, which is also quite small & narrow.

Small room, disappointing customer service”

Clean room, warm room, microwave

The motel is tucked away on a quiet street. When I checked in the lady could not find the room key and suggested that it might have been left in the door! it wasn't so she gave me another. On reflection, I should have asked to change to another room as we were uncomfortable that a door key was missing. The room was very small and it was a struggle to get our bags in, we don't carry much luggage! The room looked newly fitted out and was very clean and warm. There was a microwave, fridge and kettle. Tea and coffee but no shampoo/shower gel, only a couple of bars of soap. We could not see a smoke detector. The motel advertised free wifi but I could not even get a signal, in room, reception or laundry. I mentioned this to the lady but she didn't seem particularly interested and just went back to her TV program! I was probably disappointed more about the wifi than anything else!
