needs an update- shower floor definitely needs replacing! a ceiling fan would help for overnight rather than using aircon. Great position- easy walk to everything.

A somewhat old motel, but well looked after, clean, and everything worked. But beware of the room door. When it closes, it is locked, and you can't disable that. So make sure you have the room key in your pocket before you close the room door.

Check in was smooth enough. Rooms decent sized but not as clean as expected. Room was not serviced during 2 night stay, smoke from outside other rooms wafted into Room so had to keep door closed. Beds hard. But in a good position and very central so can walk easily to anything in bright.

People in neighbouring room were noisy till after midnight on the first night. After a request to them, they were quiet in the following nights. They also smoked on the back verandah frequently which meant l couldn't leave my sliding door open for fresh air and ambience. When l did, the room would quickly be filled with smoke.
