Old but located in a central location in Emerald

We stayed at this motel because it was the closest accommodation to an event we were attending in Emerald. For one night, it was fine, and not overpriced. However, it is an old motel and in dire need of renovation. The exterior and gardens also require some TLC also and none of the photos actually reflect the true appearance of the motel. The bed was comfy and the air conditioner worked a treat. We received good communication from the staff prior to our stay with accurate instructions detailing the check in process.
