Motel was clean and near a shopping centre, room was comfortable and no traffic noise. Only issue was no remote for the tv and no one at the office to ask for one. Other than that all was good.

Good layout in family room. Could do with a few more security features. Had all the basics. We stopped there one night en route. Arrived late and checked in via kiosk which was easy.

Over rated!!
Disappointed that advertised breakfast room service (limited). But nothing available. King bed very old mattress sunk into it as soon as lay down. Pillows lumpy not a very comfortable sleep. Also only Chanel’s on tv Chanel 9 and SBS friends stayed at caravan park and they even had cable tv and paid much less!!!!
