A very small room, but it had everything I needed. The only issue was the very thin walls—I could hear my neighbour's TV throughout the night until they finally turned it off. Other than that, everything was great. Thank you! 😊

I was on a long drive and running late to the motel. They gave me details to open the gate and park my car and trailer. The room was ideal for my needs. I just needed sleep and to watch the World Cup game. Not happy with the result but that’s life. The stay was all I needed on my way to Wilcannia .
