It was difficult to find the place , especially when returning after having dinner in the town. There was no illuminated sign . The room was tidy but not worth $147, we would rate it alongside some $99 rooms we have had lately. I cannot believe the rating Wotif gave it !!!!

Cecilia

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Run-down motel in a seedy area. Room reeked of smoke despite being labelled as non-smoking, there were stains on the sheets and we were bitten by bugs in bed at night. Photos in ad do not represent the actual motel. We were offered to change to a different room, but judging by the ashtrays outside every room such an exercise would have been been futile, and it was 10pm at night.

Older motel with torn curtains but comfy beds & good heating. Area around property quite average but also aware they've recently suffered the floods which has left mud & damage around. Overall fit our needs for a night's sleep while on the road.
