JUST LOVELY”

What more could you expect or want. Represented real value for money. Loved the spa bath. Everything was very, very clean. The only thing we could fault was the window over the spa bath could use a screen to prevent the seeds off the trees outside blowing inside. Didn't worry us but it must be frustrating for the cleaners.

We enjoyed our stay at the rose city motel. Our only frustration was that with the kids upstairs we could hear all their thumping and moving around like maybe between floors there isn’t insulation? At times it was like a herd of elephants up there 😂 A slightly bigger bed would have been nice but it was fine for a few nights 👍🏼
