The manager Josefina was so friendly and accommodating. I had called to ask if it was possible to check in earlier than 2pm, quite a bit earlier actually and she was happy to allow me to. The room was clean, comfortable and the location is excellent. I would recommend this property most definitely. Thank you so much for being so wonderfully nice.

Nice easy stay, provided late check in for us. Room was big and had lots of ammenities. Clean kitchen, bathroom and lounge. The only down thing we experienced were the Utes that parked in the entrance way, real tight to squeeze past. Friendly reception too :) would stay again!

My son had his regional basketball tournament at the Pettigrew Stadium just down the road which was awesome to be so close. This property was great for the price and we had dinner next door which was lovely pub grub -large meals and cheap cocktails!!
Unfortunately there was a very noisey group who woke us all up pretty early in the morning!

This motel was very quiet and peaceful – that's a big deal for me. It's within short walking distance of the main shopping area in Taradale, which has many bakeries, cafes, bars and restaurants. The staff of the motel were very friendly and they gave us a free upgrade to a two-roomed unit – that was VERY kind – it blew us away.
