Good motel for an overnight stay

Good budget motel room for an overnight stay. Room size 18metre2 so a bit tight on one side of the bed. Good wifi, air conditioning/heating and shower. Access to the budget room was via and external timber staircase. Good allocated on-site parking. Motel also offers larger rooms at a higher price.

The motel has been renovated with a great bathroom, kitchenette and reverse cycle aircon. Although quite a small space in the queen unit it was quite comfortable and warm and despite being on a, at times, busy road the room was fairly quiet. Staff were great. Reasonable tariff.

Loved it all except for the very dusty drinking glasses & the shelves on which they sat Also it sounded like we were adjacent to a laundry as someone was using dryers til late Otherwise the bed was very comfortable but we found it unusual that there wasn't the option of 2 pillows each The room itself as well as bathroom were clean Location is convenient and well situated Loved that we didn't actually have to deal with a human for checkin & checkout This was our second stay here & would recommend
