This motel did the job for a two night stay. On the plus side the room was very spacious, had a microwave and fridge. The motel is attached to a bar with inside and outside dinning space and the food is good value for money and we enjoyed our meal. If you like slot machines, playing Pool, watching sport on TV, there is a dedicated bar and this is the place for you. On the negative side I found the room was "tired", for example, it had gaps around the doors, a cracked sink, very worn floor tiles in the shower room and generally felt grubby. It did however have a good refurbished shower!

The room was pretty clean. A little bit of dust on the walls. Lady at reception was really nice and friendly. Only problem I had was other hotel guests but that has nothing to do with the managers or the owner of the establishment
