We’ve stayed here multiple times and it’s always the same great value accommodation. It’s a no-frills type of motel but it’s very budget friendly and offers clean spacious rooms with comfy beds, hot showers, and free parking while being only about a 10min drive to the CBD. Definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a budget friendly place to get a good sleep.

Liked: Staff & service
Was a disturbing night due to noise. No parking in front of our door. Someone else parked there. So inconvenience.
The truck parking is a bit inconvenient within the parking area, but full service with a late arrival worked really well.. have stayed a few times before and will stay again 👍
We needed a clean place close to the airport for one night . This place was very clean and offered a pub and a restaurant. We enjoyed great pub meal and adult beverage before we got comfortable in our room. Staff at the pub were really friendly and helpful. ( they helped us to check in)
