This motel is in a great central location while also being surrounded by trees and near a park. It is an easy walk into the main part of town and a quick drive to everywhere else. The room was basic but well furnished, clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable and staff helpful.

It was extremely clean, a very generous kitchenette, huge bathroom. The outside lights went off early, the room was dark and it was blissfully quiet.

Typical older style motel. A bowling club next door that offered tasty lunch and dinner. Very convenient. The river with more food options was nearby.

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    The friendliness and it was very organized. The motel parking was very accessible, we found it straight away at night. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very warm in the middle of winter. The soap and shampoo and amenities were very nice also.

    The location of this hotel/motel was fabulous. Pareking was easy and the hotel is an easy walk down the hill to part of shoal bay - so you dont have to battle parking in peek times. The hotel is slightly isolated from shops and other things going on - so you may need to buckly up as you will need to battle out for parking at some stage during yoru stay
