Liked: Amenities
Decent price and 5 minute walk to Anitas Theatre for show over the long weekend. Plenty of parking and check-in is via a SMS message to unlock the door. Had basic toiletries, towels,decent fridge and microwave. TV is a bit of a nightmare to operate and wifi is below average. Was pretty quiet once the restaurant customers next door at Andies left. Good price for what you get. Local hotel is next to Anitas and has plenty food to choose and the kitchen stays open until 4pm for lunch on the weekend. We went to go back there after the show but wanted a $20cover charge.For a pub! Visit the Tequila Bar on the walk back to the motel.
