Nice, clean and close to everything

Close to everything, tidy and clean. Room was a bit dated but good for what we needed. Parking was ok, but not enough for when motel was full as it was on the 2 nights we stayed. Would stay there again.

The photos don't portray an accurate picture of the motel. We were in a room facing the car park with a bright floodlight shining all night. There was no ironing board or iron. The room was reasonably clean and the bed was comfortable.

The location was perfect for the event we attended. The room was dated and the aircon was old and noisy. The staff were very friendly. It suited our needs. The restaurant was under renovation and not open. The cafe was great for breakfast.
