“Amazing experience. The room was spacious, clean and tidy. We had 4 people in the family room. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. We got room service for dinner and breakfast. The food was delicious. The service was the best we have experienced so far. Will be going back again. Will be recommending to others.”

“Kylie and staff are kind and very helpful, the rooms are generously size, the beds are comfortable lovely fresh clean sheets. Showers are clean with plenty of hot water, rooms have A/C , a jug, toaster , microwave , TV and a bar fridge all very well maintained, and the skylight definitely lets you know when morning has woken. We had no issues with creepy crawlies. If you are looking for a nice getaway, Arcadia Motel has all the essentials for a comfortable stay, the WiFi is a simple connection. ordering room service is a breeze, too. It is along the highway if you are a light sleeper I recommend earplugs, and a sleeping mask as the motel lights stay on at night. In all a lovely experience and definitely recommended for a comfortable place to stay.”
