Would not recommend

This motor lodge is in very poor condition. The floors were sticky and we discovered a lot of rubbish including a dead cockroach underneath the couch. The tv did not work, apparently there is no aerial.

The room, bathroom and kitchen were clean. On the positive side we had booked a studio unit and got a full motel unit. On the negative side the bed was so hard that it was like sleeping on the floor. One of us didn't get much sleep because of that.

We had a very nice stay. The rooms are a great size and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed the swing set out back. The pool isn’t open but we weren’t planning on using it. KFC and Woolworths are very close, which was convenient. There is no A/C but our room had 3 fans which really helped.

I did not sleep here. I left 5 minutes after check in despite having a non refundable booking. The room door did not lock. The room smelt musty & mouldy. Stand fan was filthy. Feel free to read my other reviews - I am generally easy to please. But this place was totally unacceptable. Only good things were that you can park outide your room door & the kitchn fridge had a spacious freezer.

Although off a busy road once you arrived inside. No road noise. Modern facilities. No aircon. No real reception. You rang a number to organise key. Impersonal. But facilities fine. Reasonably priced.
