Decent roadside motel of former glory

While a bit old and run down, it served the purpose. The aircon worked well, it had been cleaned to a good standard, and the beds were very comfortable. Added bonus when travelling with a 7 year old, the pool was very nice!

Super friendly owners and staff, very informative. Check in and out was very easy and quick. Ordered dinner from their restaurant and they were happy to bring it to the room which is great service in a motor inn. Room was really clean, everything worked and in good condition no complaints at all.
