Really well maintained motel, the brickwork makes it look a bit dated but everything was clean and the beds and couch seemed to be recent purchases. Our 2 bedroom unit was incredibly spacious compared to other motels. Checkin was easy, the fish lines were great for the kids to look at. Would definitely stay here again.
