Staff were courteous but the room badly needed minor cosmetic repairs. Also not very clean, spider webs, dirt around tap handles and worst of all was a dog barking day and night (room 6).

Decent roadside motel of former glory

While a bit old and run down, it served the purpose. The aircon worked well, it had been cleaned to a good standard, and the beds were very comfortable. Added bonus when travelling with a 7 year old, the pool was very nice!
