The photos don't portray an accurate picture of the motel. We were in a room facing the car park with a bright floodlight shining all night. There was no ironing board or iron. The room was reasonably clean and the bed was comfortable.

The location was perfect for the event we attended. The room was dated and the aircon was old and noisy. The staff were very friendly. It suited our needs. The restaurant was under renovation and not open. The cafe was great for breakfast.
