Tired, run down, no restaurant as advertised. Over priced. Avoid avoid avoid would be my advice. We decided not to stay as the room was just horrible. Sadly we had already paid and although we were in the room for no more than 5 minutes, didnt use a single thing we were not getting our $110 back, or even a... More

Hosts were very kind and upgraded us to the better room. It was exceptionally clean and tidy. Restaurant wasn't open so cannot comment on that. There is a nice little swimming poll there and a spa. A bit far out of town but good value.

We recently stayed at the Alma motel, and just want to let anyone know that although its not a NEW complex. Its spotlessly clean. The service from the owners is Real and genuine. We would recommend to anyone to stay here. Made to feel comfortable and we will be back. Many thanks :)

I stayed at the Alma for 2 nights when I visited from Australia in feburary 2011. They are under new management and are fantastic. They went above and beyond to help us whenever we needed it. They treated us like family. Pandora (reception) even offered help when my mum was sick. Joe was very chatty and lots of fun. The... More

Stayed at Alma Motel recently with 3 young children. Found the staff happy to help with anything – talk about service with a smile! Had a great dinner at Stonze restaurant. Really nice place, good location – have already booked our next long weekend there.

Would not stay there again. The room was next to noisy neighbours. All the furnishings were very tired. The door and window latches were poor. We slept on two beds so that we would not roll into each other. That way we sort of got to sleep before the noisy neighbours got going late in the night. When hubby got... More

We booked for 1 night based on previous comments on tripadvisor and the complementary videos on the hotel website. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit with kitchen and lounge area. The accommodation was basic and the decor dated. Many of the surfaces (including bedside alarm clock) were greasy or sticky. There were several guys standing around outside drinking and... More

From their website this seems to be a good place - testimonial and all. I was not happy with the place. Three nights there was plenty for me. Beds not made any day. Garbage taken out but that was about it. Had to ask for more kitchen supplies each day. Parking was good. Did not use the restaurant there. Accommodation... More
