Not a bad overnight stay at a ‘mining’ town accommodation. No table or bench in my room 18 so made eating dinner difficult. Still it was clean and okay for a quick overnight stay.

The room was maintained very well and had all the necessary utilities for our short-term stay. Safe parking was provided and it was easy to shift our luggage to and from the room. One can drive into the shopping area which is about 5 mins drive. As it was the weekend after 5pm most shops were closed, except for some like Dominoes, Chinese restaurants, KFC.... Note: perhaps they should consider replacing the "tired" items.

The photos don’t even reflect what you’re booking.no towels in room, incorrect rooms given for late check in resulting in a child sleeping on the floor as we couldn’t get into any other room. 2 towels given for 6 people with no offer to remedy this. Booking mix up blamed on us booking not directly with motel. Mattress was firm and good.
