Photos on the booking page are not an accurate representation of the premises. In reality the “resort” is nothing more than a travellers motel - hence disappointing upon arrival. Having said that, it is a decent and clean motel for a short stay. Friendly staff and free dinner and breakfast are nice bonus.

No towels, a lot of dust on the glass shelves. My husband and I ordered the food for dinner. We waited for the food for a while. Finally my husband’s food arrived, I kept waiting for my order until my husband completed his dinner. I didn’t receive my order. We asked the server, she said the cook forgot to cook my order.

The surrounding area was extremely spurious. We had issues overnight and when this was highlighted to the receptionist, they were very unhelpful. The only follow up question from the receptionist was, "did we have anything from the mini bar?" Nothing in reference to our concern.
