The accommodation was very good and the staff courteous. Good central part of town. It was around 7.00pm when we arrived and there was no one on reception. I called the phone number on the door as instructed but it didn't work. Fortunately I had the motel phone number so was able to use that. They were very helpful and directed us to our unit which was unlocked and available to us.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very much in need of a tidy-up. My room was up some extremely steep internal stairs. Disturbing to note that my room key opened not only my room, but the door at the bottom of the stairs. Fine, except that there were two rooms at the top of the stairs, and I'm presuming that the key for the other room (14) also opened the bottom door! In which case my room (12) was probably able to be opened by the room 14 key! The room price ($103) was cheap and basically so was the motel, at least that part of it I was exposed to. The website states it was built in the 1940's and the whole ambience of the place reflected that.

Convenient location for the duration of stay, very dated accommodation, mismatched taps, worn vanity unit. Non smoking unit that reeked of stale cigarettes. Cobwebs in top corners of the ceiling complete with dead moths. Generally a disappointing experience, yes it was a cheap last minute booking. Alas you do get what you pay for.

Location good about a km to walk into town over the Avon River. Plenty of food places once in town. Only negative was I stayed on a Saturday night and the boy racers were hooning up and down street so was a little noisy thankfully this didn’t last all night.

Unit was fine, however, a splash of paint would be better especially on doors. Shampoo system in shower was a bit high for short folk. Other than above it was good. Afterthought. Book said free pickup for casino, apparently thats not available now. Might pay to remove it.

Nice kitchen

The unit was well presented, spacious, clean and nice decor. I mentioned no hot water in the kitchen and this was attended to immediately. My laundry was washed and dried for me at a reasonable price. Within distance of most areas. Enjoyed my three night stay there.
