Well located, older style motel. The main bedroom area is large with new carpet installed. Bathroom and kitchen areas are due for a refurbishment. However everything you need for a one night stop over is available. There’s onsite parking but some spaces are tricky to get into - so be patient and it’ll be fine. Easy access to fast food, supermarket and Caroline Bay.
