"Comfortable bed and warm room. Parking was handy and we were happy to pay $15 for the secure carpark. The motel room was in need of the maintenance man spending a day fixing things. Loose taps, mouldy leaking shower, mattress protector was stained, patches on the walls. The rooms need some touch ups done."
