Overnight stay. Close to centre of town so an easy walk around the shops. Restaurant had a good menu and staff very friendly and helpful. Wednesday night and restaurant was full so this indicates the popularity and quality of the hotel.

Nice big room, handy location, but because of this very noisy. Bear in mind this is a traditional hotel building with accommodation rooms on the upper floor. Many stairs & no lifts.

It was a bit noisy at night due to either a generator or air conditioning units outside my window. Shutting the windows helped a lot but it didn't block it out completely.

Road trip overnight stay

Motel is on the main road but our room did not hear the road noise, however the refrigeration and central air conditioning motors provided a constant hum. Room was a queen with 2 seater couch, tv and bathroom. Our 4WD could not fit in the underground Carpark so we parked adjacent in the street, no problem. Rooms on 2nd floor but no elevator and the stairs are narrow. Nice place to stay. Meal in the restaurant was also very nice.
