A good clean motel for an overnight stay. Happy to see a staff member on check in as the self check in screen wasn't working. A bit noisy being right on the highway, but comfy bed and hot shower were really all we were after for a 1 night stop over.

Grace

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room smelled strongly of cigarettes, the toilet seat was loose (almost detached), the floor loose and sticky/dirty and the TV had no signal (couldn't watch free to air, was only able to log in to Netflix using my personal account). Otherwise it had adequate amenities and good temperature control

Totally over-priced for a late 1950's early 1960's motel. They have attempted to give it a lick of paint and some security cameras, but the place needs demolishing, it is past it's use-by date.

Very clean room also the bed was so comfy, all toiletries were supplied were to the high standard, I can only comment of 1 problem at the motel and that is, the car park and outside of the rooms is very dirty that needs to be cleaned daily as there were ear bud sticks(used) also teeth cleaners and just basic everyday rubbish like cigarette butts, the workers need to more aware of their surroundings for cleanliness so when clients are not bringing dirt into the rooms.
