Other guests, loud and disruptive, yelling, swearing and banging in rooms. Cars parked out the back of the motel in car park with thumping music late into the night.

Pros:

Perfect for what we needed, very affordable and great location for our stay. The staff were really accommodating and super helpful with everything.

Cons:

The only downside was receiving lots and lots of prompting to do an online check in. They were helpful but found it a bit frustrating

Good accommodation if you're in the area
Pros:

Check in was good, although entered from accomodation carpark which enters directly into restaurant and was difficult to find. Nice sized room. Clean and tidy. Meals were amazing and well priced. Bathroom was a good size with great water pressure and a good amount of hot water.

Cons:

A packet of syringes in the carpark. Obvious burn out pad in the carpark that the room overlooks. Police pulling over cars in the carpark. No hair dryer. Clothes hangers can't be removed from rack which makes it difficult for short people to hang clothes. Some maintenance on the silicone in the shower wouldn't go astray.

Would not stay again … spend a bit more and stay somewhere better
Pros:

The free welcome drink

Cons:

Mouldy curtains - a lot of mould too
TV in first room didn’t work so we were moved rooms by management (fair) but the new room had the worst heater so it was freezing.
Shower wasn’t particularly hot either
I guess for the price you get what you pay for but it was pretty awful.
