Definitely would NOT return

The photos and exterior of the motel look good, but our room was below average. Upstairs with no lift, the door opened oddly straight into the bed with limited access past. It was hot and the Aircon was poor. Despite closing windows and having screens, it didn't stop the bugs. Aspects of the room were refurbished, albeit cheaply, and others were obviously worn and tired. There was half a roll of toilet paper (no spares), one pillow per guest (no spares, but did bring when I asked), and a sign saying you had to do all your own dishes (but no kitchen sink so you are relying on guests previously to have cleaned them properly, which would have been in the bathroom sink - yuck). They really meant this because at check-in they told reminded the lady in front of me). All this for $330. No thanks.

This motor inn is ridiculously over priced. We had a view of a brick wall and someones parked caravan. The fridge was tiny and there wasn't enough cutlery for all guests. Only 1 pillow each and the airconditioners need a good service. The shower head is way too low and tthe shower caddy hung out over the shower. It needs a lot of maintenance and a good paint job. While it is in a lovely location, the room and facilities were horrendously over priced. I was expecting something much nicer for what we paid. Very disappointed!
