We enjoyed our stay at the Desert Sands Motel. We received a code for our door to unlock door so didn’t need a key. We had the spa room which was clean and large two person spa. Was close to city centre and Sturt Club which had great meals. Air conditioning kept room at good temperature. Had a microwave bowls plates etc in room, tea coffee, kettle and fridge. The shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash wall containers and basin had handwashing and body lotion. Would definitely stay again
