The lady at reception is really lovely and helpful. It was great to have somewhere to stay that welcomed our dog as well. It would be better if the smoke alarms weren’t directly over the bed as I found the light from it shone in my face all night.

Convenient when driving long distance.
Very basic, although convenient as beside highway and pets allowed. Nevertheless I feel it is overpriced, they also charge an additional $10 per pet.

Just out side of Town
The motel was only a short drive into town and the owner was lovely. She helped us with directions and parking for the football game which helped very much. The room was on the smaller side but was everything we needed with 2A & 2C for a 1 night stay. This motel is on the highway but once the room was closed and air-cond on you couldn't even hear the traffic. We had a wonderful stay and would go there again.

Location / Price & Service
The ease in making an online booking to the reception I received on arrival, made one feel like they were home, Everything about my stay provided me with complete satisfaction in all respects: the central location / convenience / accesablity then the allocated room, once inside, it left a very evident & appealing reason to enjoy my stay, Very comfortable to say the least & all facilities were of the highest order, to then, appreciating the fine breakfasts coupled with the friendly nature from the owners. It was a really enjoyable overall experience & I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue for any of my friends or others, and look forward to my re-visiting the Sunbird Motel in the future. Many thanks again to Debbie & Adam.
