Good roadside motel

I called ahead as I was doing a late check in. I was accommodated, with my keys left in a lock box and the code sent to me via SMS. The room was clean and had all the required amenities. I had to search for the air con unit for about a minute so that I could turn it on and never managed to get the TV to work (though I only tried for 10-20 seconds). The bathroom was nice given what appears to be a basic roadside motel.

Overnight stay while driving

As soon as we arrived, the receptionist saw we had a trailer. Offered special parking with a room nearby. Made life so much easier. Plenty of good food options nearby. Room was comfortable with excellent bed and great shower, plenty of hot water. For the price, excellent value.

Good solid country motel. Great to see smart tv with streaming capabilities. So much better than the agony of free to air tv when you need to relax at the end of the day.
