This motel was dirty, in desperate need of a revamp. The restaurant which is licensed charged us $12 for a JD and coke, not bad for a dump. I would steer clear of this one.

Nightmarish stay one hot night when leaving the, exceedingly noisy, air con on for a few hours while we went out for dinner meant that the room was hotter when we got back. Add to this the surly check in welcome and the generally run down feel of the whole place and this is certainly a place to avoid.

We found this property at the last minute by just arriving on their doorstep. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was absolutely fine for the price and the property doesn't pretend to be anything more than the modest motel that it is. The hotel seemed busy which says a lot about the place.
