I was on a roadtrip & last minute changed my plans to stay in Broken Hill for a couple of nights.
Available CBD accommodation was limited & based my booking on price, prepared for a 2.5 star rated stay.
Upon arrival the office was closed, but a quick call & I'd extracted my key from the keybox & opened the door to a better than expected room.
The room was smallish, but clean & had a brand new, compact, bathroom. After a search of my car I realised I'd left my USB wall plug at home. I thought I'd have to wait until morning to buy one, but pleasantly discovered there was a wall outlet with USB & a powerboard beside the bed, also with USB. This is one of the first motels I've stayed at, of any rating to, to have this.
The aircon unit was manual operation, but super efficient and there was a microwave, toaster & full set of crockery & cutlery.
The motel is an easy 10min walk (max) to the centre of town & walkable to lot of the local attractions.
Based on my experience this should be rated a minimum of 3.5.
They are in the process of a complete makeover with new powerpoints, paint, carpet, bathrooms, tvs & kingsize beds. The room I stayed in had obviously had the bathroom & power points done, but was awaiting painting & carpet. The bed was very comfortable, although on the harder side & tv was small (not sure if it was new or not).
This could become my go to accommodation when I come to The Hill.
