Located directly on a bus line, stop just across the street. Makes for a easy day into the city.
Plenty of shops in easy driving, grocery, laundry, restaurants, Kmart and more.

This has got to be the worst place i have ever stayed. For starters, when we arrived to check-in, there was a note on the door saying we had to collect the keys from another motel down the road (no pre-warning of this). The double bed was snapped in the middle and sunk right down. Booked for 3 adults, was only given 2 towels. The unit itself was very run-down and dirty. Would not recommend at all

Units were dirty, water in shower did not drain away so filled up with water which spilt out onto bathroom floor. Toilet seat was broken and quite dangerous to sit on. Carpet was very stained as were bath towels.

Arriving 5.30pm had to go to another motel to get key to room
get in room to find no bath towels or mat had to go back to get these from the other motel. towels had black grease type stains on them
Had shower in the morning. the shower leaked all over bathroom floor and out into the kitchen area. the seals on the shower door had black mold all over them, other faults too numerous to mention.
When returning the key we told them about the shower and we were told "oh don't worry about it"
this motel should be. I believe. de-listed off your choice list for motels in that area

The kitchen floor was filthy and didn't appear to have been washed for sometime. No tea towels supplied. The shower had mould on the roof. The beds were clean and comfortable
