The motel is a little outdated but was clean and comfortable for three singles. The beds were well spaced apart. It had the necessary equipment like: microwave, toaster, kettle, crockery and utensils. All were very clean and neatly stacked in a cupboard. Happy to stay again. Staff were warm and friendly.

Room did not have appropriate chairs for the table/bench. Used external chairs that were not suitable. Limited car parking. Otherwise OK

Shower was similar to an outdoor leaking tap, no pressure at all, almost non functional at times. The shower cubicle itself in terrible state, broken tap covers, floor just left to decay. Air conditioner loud and full of dust. Very little amount of car parking, during week days you may find yourself having to park blocks away from motel. The bed was the only non-negative aspect of the room.

The room i was allocated appeared to be in utter disrepair, The sink was crusty and rusting out of the wall. There was a Large Hole in the wall! Missing patches of floorboard, Power outlet looked very concerning with paint flaking around exterior. Also the room/Carpet smelled strongly of urine. Was planning o having a coworker join me at this establishment in the next few days; However have cancelled their reservation and booked elsewhere.
