This Motor Inn was a great find for an overnight stay on our way to Adelaide. Easy to find and close to seeing the sights on Mount Gambia, the room was compact, clean and cosy. Great stay and easy to check in and out on a public holiday.

Given it was on Riddells Hwy and room was that end - you did get traffic noise as windows are single glazed. For the price and availability- it was dated but clean, easy to check in and convenient for last minute stay.

I booked the hotel as 2 adults and 1 child but there was no separate bed for my child. On top of that the bed was a double bed which gave us terrible sleeping experience for 3 of us. None of us could sleep well. The room was so compact that there are not much room. I felt it is ideal for a single person or hardly a couple. Outdoor kitchen and area were good and had smooth onboarding experience.
