This motel is slightly renovated and is cheap however it was very noisy especially early morning as trucks run behind the premises and the bed was like sleeping on concrete. Definitely only worth the cheap rate we paid wouldn’t stay there again even though location was close to shops

Room was comfortable enough. Motel is very dated, but economical. Very convenient location; central to Forster. Easy check in and check out. Some noise from adjacent rooms, but still quiet after 10 pm. Nice cafe next door, and a short walk to eateries. Stayed one night for a running event, and had a decent sleep. Recommended if you are on a budget.
