The motel is a bit run down and doesnt look like much from the outside. But the room is large with plwnty of space, balcony, couch, table and chairs, desk and kitchenette. The room walls are very thin and unfortunately we had some very inconsiderate neighbours which let the stay down. The water pressure wasnt great but the toiletries supplied were nice. Walking distance to supermarket and eateries.

This property was conveniently located, clean & the beds were very comfortable. We booked a room upstairs as we wanted the spa bath. The spa bath was huge but unfortunately we could not get the jets to work. We would suggest a set of instructions.
