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.

    We visited the area last January during summer and found it to be in the central city. It's convenient as everything, especially restaurants, is nearby. The bathroom is reasonably equipped for the price paid, and a hairdryer is available. Friendly receptionist. There is free parking inside the motel.

    The unit was spacious and clean. It had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. It was great to find a motel with free parking outside our unit. The car was parked up for the weekend as the location is super central to everything. Definitely will stay again

    Value for money. I booked here because the city hotels were excessively expensive during the Wearable Arts. This motel was very well priced and I was surprised with how comfortable, spacious and modern the rooms were. Very good value and all with free parking.

    I stay here often because it is always clean, and it is in a great location - 1 block to cuba street, close to where I work, and handy to everywhere. There is free parking on site, which is a real bonus for a central city motel.

    Free parking was the draw card for us when booking this motel and the reasonable room rate made it even more attractive. Our beds were very comfortable and the lady in the office was extremely helpful and friendly.
