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.

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

The motel was old - unit we asked to be moved to because of noisy position was quiet but had iron scorch marks on the carpet, mould around shower edges, no dining chairs, beds sloping inwards. Main annoyance was that the office was several properties away. Staff pleasant, however.

I made a mistake with my booking dates, and within hours tried to get it fixed. This motel chose to enforce their no refunds policy even though it was a genuine mistake notified very quickly, and there was no financial loss for them. I will never stay with them or any of their affiliate motels again.

Mattress had collapsed. Sill in the bathroom had some drug marks on it. They moved us to another room where there was mould on the ceiling in the shower. Ive stayed now at Settlers and Midway and the cleanliness is well below standard.

I would not stay at this accomodation again. It is very over priced. It took us over an hour to get the tv to work. There was something splashed on the walls upstairs. There were no towels. Curtains were coming off the rails. No staff onsite and you had to go to another accomodation down the road to get the keys.
