    If the beds are comfortable to sleep on with super clean crisp laundered linen and bathroom very clean and functional, which we experienced at Miner's Retreat, then they get my top assessment
  • Geoff

    Room was renovated and felt a bit more 'upmarket' than your normal motel.
  • Annabel

    Large room, well equipped and clean. Comfortable bed. If you want to get away from the road noise request a room at the back. the noise wasn't too bad but some people like total quiet
