This Motor Inn was a great find for an overnight stay on our way to Adelaide. Easy to find and close to seeing the sights on Mount Gambia, the room was compact, clean and cosy. Great stay and easy to check in and out on a public holiday.

Given it was on Riddells Hwy and room was that end - you did get traffic noise as windows are single glazed. For the price and availability- it was dated but clean, easy to check in and convenient for last minute stay.

My stay was a short one, overnight. My room was spacious and clean, with very modern fixtures and decor. I have stayed here about 15 years ago and found the refurbished rooms a delight. Will definitely stay here again.
