Late check-in, key under mat as proposed. Room cold and heater was very slow to warm. Thought it was broken but did warm up after 30 mins. Sheets crisp and clean but big stain in the middle of the bed spread. Bath had hair in ( photo taken if you need to see) Bed on casters so moved away from wall if sitting in bed as no headboard and no bedside lights. Down light ok. Wifi connected well.

Would not stay again

If you do not mind listening to the people in the unit next door or their music/TV at night, and are keen to wear the ear plugs the motel provides, do not stay here. We actually left that night, knowing we would not get a decent night sleep. A heater was provided but took sometime to warm up the room, with no double glazing or insulation it was very cold.

It’s quite noisy being on state highway 1 and the railway is directly behind it. It suited our needs and was clean and tidy. Couldn’t find a decent restaurant for an evening meal. Levin is very basic.

The pillows were very uncomfortable, and only 2 thick pillows. It would be good to have a thick and thin pillow on a bed to accommodate various peoples likes. The bed was comfortable, and room nice and clean. The little milk seches area inadequate when paying good money to stay somewhere. No shower mat provided. Very noisy with the train at room level 3 times during the night.
