A good clean motel for an overnight stay. Happy to see a staff member on check in as the self check in screen wasn't working. A bit noisy being right on the highway, but comfy bed and hot shower were really all we were after for a 1 night stop over.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No working freezer compartment in fridge ( meds require this) and no one on site to help plus it needed defrosting
Very tired bathroom cracked tiles etc. bedroom very nice
Next door to 24/7 petrol station( our fault for not checking!!)
It was very close to shopping and to the hospital or rehab centre where my mother was staying.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Air conditioning smelt of cigarette smoke. Took my own bedding. So glad because the doona also smells of cigarettes. Dust bin wasn't emptied before our stay and old toothbrush left in shower
No shops were not nearby. I wasn't sure how to check in immediately also, so wandered around to find a reception (eliciting a rude comment from the caretaker).
The room smelled strongly of cigarettes, the toilet seat was loose (almost detached), the floor loose and sticky/dirty and the TV had no signal (couldn't watch free to air, was only able to log in to Netflix using my personal account). Otherwise it had adequate amenities and good temperature control
