10/10 Exceptional

This property was exceptionally clean (I’ve never seen stainless sparkle like this shower and sink!!) and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Walking distance to Lonestar, a pharmacy and Superette. The Z gas station across the road has great coffee (we are coffee snobs and avoid gas station coffee) for the morning. We stayed in a family room which had its own full kitchen including oven. Separate room with double bed and could easily fit two children with extra room for a pull out or portacot. Great room for families at a reasonable price, will definitely come back when in the area again ☺️

The location is great - within walking distance of private medical facilities, restaurants and other eateries. There are also hot plates in the rooms. This is an older motel but spotlessly clean, run by very helpful and hospitable people and a comfortable place to be.
