Very clean and up to date. Not your crappy roadside motel. Very spacious, with loungers for TV, a small dining table, kitchenette, and a large bathroom. Beds were nice and comfortable. All reasonably priced.

I stayed here for almost three weeks in late 2023 and it was perfect for my needs. This is a very well-run motel. The hosts are professional, friendly, and very responsive to any requests. They obviously care about guest satisfaction and comfort. The room was very clean and quiet. There is a well-equipped kitchenette and a good-sized TV with many channels. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well the entire visit. The location is excellent because it is directly across the road from the Esplanade which is a fantastic urban park with natural bush, formal gardens and lots of walking paths and track, and also (for families) a large playground and wading pool for kids. There's a bus stop right at the gate and it's only a few minutes ride to The Square and the Plaza shopping center. I'm very happy to have chosen Harringtons for my stay and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

    During his stay at the motel while working in the area, our data technician found plenty of positives: easy parking, felt safe and secure, a comfy bed, and the host was super helpful with a late check-out because of his late work hours. He'd definitely choose to stay there again in the future.

    Oh my word, what an amazing motel! This place felt like more of a wonderful hotel than just a place to sleep on the road. Staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The room was spacious and incredibly well equipped. Loads of toiletries and even chocolates on the bed. Microwave, toaster and kettle were absolutely spotless. It was super clean and felt like they took great care to clean the bits that motels normally miss. The bed was super comfortable. They even had a washer and dryer you could use. An absolute must stay place!
