Friendly, courteous and quick check-in. Parking outside unit door. Room was adequate size for a couple travelling and not wanting to spend much time in it apart from sleeping. It had usual practical accessories including electric kettle and bar refrigerator, plus handy extras of small table & 2 dining chairs, a toaster and little microwave oven ... but guests will need to have own crockery and cutlery if wanting to prepare basic meals, such as breakfasts. Shower really needs a safety grab rail ... getting in and out of that involves stepping over a tiled surround (15-20cm high approx). Shops, cafes, Theatre Royal, etc, within 500m-1km walking distance. Suited our needs and would probably stay again if visiting Cstlemaine sometime in future.

Decent & clean motel close to the Woolies. Only downside was that there was no one at reception when we arrived around 4:30. We called the after hours phone number several times but no one picked up - we left voicemails, so we waited around in the cold for someone to turn up so we could checkin!
