No communication or emailed that they had no water we were told when we arrived. I asked for a discount and they said no. so we couldnt shower after a long 8 hour drive couldnt flush the toilet or wash your hands. Once the we had water 5 hours late, the next morning couldn't have a shower becasue the cold water tape didnt work. Very disappointing and wont stay there again.

Friendly staff. The fridge worked to freeze the Esky bottle. Comfortable stay. A restaurant on sight and enjoyed the meal. Something I didn't spot until late in my stay, but instead had been using an extension cord from the wall opposite for my laptop on the desk. There is a closer power point in the place where the electric jug is stored. A power board on the bench/desk would be good, and a higher chair for working on it.

The Motel is very old and in need of substantial update. The first room they put me in had chipped and missing tiles from bathroom entry as well as bits of the carpet ripped up and sticking out of the floor. At first I thought there was something stuck on the floor but when one of the service people came they said it was ripped carpet and a number of the rooms are like that. Also booked for 4 nights and paid on check in but then after first night needed to cancel the last night. When I asked about a refund they said because I booked through Expedia I would have to take it up with them which I did and Expedia contacted the management and were told policy is no refunds which considering I gave two days notice I think is pretty poor.
