Cute retro charm but loud droning from aircons

A really cute retro motel, enjoyed the vibes. Bed was ok, cleanliness was ok. I would have given it a better review if it wasn't for how loud it was. I'll say this - if loud droning noises don't bother you it's a cute place to stay if you like motels that retain some of their retro charm. Regarding the noise, I'm not 100% sure but I think it may have been the reverse cycle aircon units? Turning off ours didn't help much though. But it was a loud enough droning that I could hear it clearly through my earplugs, and there was a point in the night where I woke up and could have sworn there was a big road train style truck idling next to the room or something. It was kind of intense and made our night's sleep a bit of a struggle.

Great Retro accommodation. Close to many things. First room I got was terrible with rising damp broken amenities. Friendly staff on site gave me another room which was better. But beware it is a dated motel close to everything?

The motel is aged but in good condition. Staff is very friendly given the fact that she has to work in both the reception on the ground floor and the restaurant on the second floor during breakfast time. Breakfast was great, foods are freshly cooked and served even approaching the close hour of 09:00. Plenty of parking space, which is precious right in the center of the city. Some reviews that the tile was peeling off in the bathroom, which we did not experience. However, as there is no ventilation on the roof, the paint is becoming bubbled. This is probably the only reason we only give it a four rather than a five.
