Looking for a motel?

Both travellers 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 to make check-in quick and easy.

    Disappointed to be charged $15 parking which was not advertised, with more half the motel was scaffolded, the shower was mouldy, air con was dated and took a long time to respond and finally when we came down for our 'good breakfast that was offered they said they were out of fruit and pastries and we could only have slices of toast with honey, jam, Vegemite or peanut butter. Neither of us had anything. I used to stay here 10 years ago and was very nice and well run then with free parking. Now run down, dated with dirty bathrooms
