Pet friendly with a super welcoming attitude to our little fur baby. Great restaurant, easy check in, and fantastic staff. Loved it and looking forward to our next visit!! Our first choice xx
Booked one night the room was fine had my small dog scooter with me room was quite expensive but needed a room at short notice so ok I’ll cope it , had a $48 steak that was very fatty at the onsite restaurant was very disappointing gave half to my dog he was happy should of called domino’s
Accommodation was lovely. Excellent for people travelling with pets. Superb restaurant with wonderful food. I will recommend Alara to friends and will stay there again.
Thank you to all the staff and owners.
The floors under the beds need to vaccumed this is the second time in 6 months that I have said the same thing. Different rooms and still the same issues we had pistachios nut shells all under on of the beds and rubish.
The parking is terrible not designated and watched two cars for one room which then meant we couldn’t even park for our room. General repairs you can’t use the exhaust fan in the bath room which also controls the main light as it screams and makes a terrible noise.
For a pet friendly Motor Inn it is brilliant . There was an off the floor bed for our dog , water bowl and chicken chew . It was clean , smelt lovely , air con wasnt too noisy , complimetary bottles of water , staff were friendly and helpful and the price was great .
Booked a room for 2 adults and child (3 year old) and was put in a room with a king bed and no sofa bed. Had to pay for an upgrade for somewhere for our child to sleep which was frustrating
