Although this is an older hotel it is really good for a few days stay if you are in the area for vacation or to go to Australian Reptile Farm. My wife and I arrived early in the day and spoke to the gentlemen at the desk. The man, Sana, said that our room was not ready, but he immediately went to our room and cleaned, and set all in order for our stay. We waited about 45 minutes and it was ready. Although an older room, all the appliances worked, as well as water, shower, microwave, and refrigerator. It is right by the highway so travel to and from the area is easy. There is no breakfast provided, but a big gas station is right across the street, with food shopping for a quick meal. Also, there is a small coffee shop next door. If you wish, you can drive down the highway for about 10 minutes to the next town and they have many places for a meal. Sana was a great help. Friendly and helpful to the visitors from out of the country.

We requested a ground floor room as my wife has some mobility issues, The room was adequate, bed comfort fair. The bathroom, whilst clean, and with a good shower, overall appeared lacking in maintenance. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ground level room parking at the front to the property was rather tight, but the main car park at the rear is fine.
