Very small room in a corner with little light. No outlook. An old motel in need of an upgrade. Too expensive for what was comfortable

Not a bad overnight stay at a ‘mining’ town accommodation. No table or bench in my room 18 so made eating dinner difficult.
Still it was clean and okay for a quick overnight stay.

Room adequate for overnight stay. Facility is old and a little tired looking.
The room was maintained very well and had all the necessary utilities for our short-term stay.
Safe parking was provided and it was easy to shift our luggage to and from the room.
One can drive into the shopping area which is about 5 mins drive. As it was the weekend after 5pm most shops were closed, except for some like Dominoes, Chinese restaurants, KFC....
Note: perhaps they should consider replacing the "tired" items.
The photos don’t even reflect what you’re booking.no towels in room, incorrect rooms given for late check in resulting in a child sleeping on the floor as we couldn’t get into any other room. 2 towels given for 6 people with no offer to remedy this.
Booking mix up blamed on us booking not directly with motel.
Mattress was firm and good.
Staff were very accommodating for our late arrival. Room was nice and simple but everything you need for an overnight stay. Comfy bed and the place nice and quiet. Shower was nice and hot in the morning. Thanks and will try and stay again if we are out that way.
PS. Forbes has some nice history to see and interesting art around to find.
