Anndion Lodge Motel and Function Centre
Room was small but enough space for a couple of nights. Staff was really concern about cleaning. Kitchen has enough kitchenware to make a decent meal, in the night usually very busy.

Sealing in the room could get a cleaning (dust & cob webs). Other than that everything was o.k.
