    We always book at this motel when we are going to an event. It is always clean tidy and definitely would recommend it to anyone wanting accommodation for the night. One idea for the future could be giving the rooms an option to have breakfast delivered to the room before checking out. I would definitely purchase a room with breakfast

    It was a cheap motel which had all the basics. The staff at reception were extremely helpful and very pleasant. The location was ideal for exploring around the region and visiting friends. We were invited to inspect a couple of rooms before we paid to ensure we were happy. I was impressed with this. It was a really spacious unit with good storage.
