This is an old motel style, we have used several times before, and certainly will again. Rooms have been redecorated; plain, functional, spacious, easy parking. Very convenient to shopping precinct and our relatives. Lovely hot water, bathrooms very clean! We did have trouble with the tv but we are OLD!!! and eventually we found programs we liked. Beds comfortable, extra pillows, home away from home! Thanks guys!

This property was perfect for our needs and we had the best sleep - the beds were so comfy! The staff were friendly and helpful, and we were walking distance from the Gordon Hotel which had a great feed since the Steakhouse wasn’t open. The bathroom tiles and floor needed a clean but overall it didn’t take away from our stay.
