Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No sign of free welcome drink as indicated in confirmation information.
No designated parking, motel full of large 4 wheel drive vehicles parked without thought (perhaps under no direction from management to be aware of space), some with trailers parked separately.
No ventilation fan in bathroom, thus everything was dripping after 2 showers.
On first floor - bottom step of stairs would not pass safety check.
Positive point, much quieter than expected even though room was near main road.

Fridge didn’t work properly- it was noisy and didn’t function properly
Old motel however the room was very clean and provided plenty of toiletries and a great shower with plenty of hot water and good pressure. Cleaning staff were very nice and helpful. It was in a good location and you could walk to shops and clubs if you wanted to.

Clean, comfortable but a bit tired, needs refurbishment.
The owners were super friendly and helpful. We had rolling power blackouts through my stay but their attitude and willingness to help made it a very enjoyable stay.
At check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to have been given an upgrade to a King-bed room with blockout shutters. The room was excellent, clean, spacious and had everything we could need. The bed was very comfortable and, with the benefit of the blockout shutters, the room had very little light overnight, ensuring we enjoyed an undisturbed good night’s sleep.
