Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room with king size bed. Spa bath in room but water didn’t get very hot. Restaurant meals were good.

Central Park Motel is a good place to stay, clean room with adequate amenities.
The grounds need tending to, but other than that its a nice place to lay your head for the night

We arrived late afternoon with a flat tyre and we’re given some good advice by staff. They stored our frozen meat too😃.
The room was quiet, clean and had everything we needed and a huge TV with Sky👍

This motel has seen better days, it’s a good place for just a stop-over, but it’s dated. Could do with airco. Bed was ok and the place was clean. Restaurant was closed. Parking was a bit fiddly.

They turned off the heater and left the windows open through the day, making it very cold when I got in at the end of the day.

Basic but comfortable.
It was not mentioned that restaurant is not open Fri, Sat or Sun nights. This a basic motel, clean and a comfortable bed.
