This is an outdated motel but its well maintained regularly i guess, could use a refurbishment or remodelling on their bathroom.Good kitchen facilities and everything in working order with complete utensil etc. Good selection of tv channels as they have Sky.

This is an older style motel that had been pretty well maintained. It had a nice kitchen with hot plates and plenty of pots, crockery and cutlery, etc. The bathroom was quite large and clean. Beds were comfortable and pillows were OK. Motel is very close to town and although on a busy suburban street, was not too noisy at night. Internet connection was a bit weak, but usable.
