Anglesea Motel and Conference Centre
Motel parked close to supermarket and CBD is ideal walking distance. Rooms were great, front desk clerk was friendly. Only thing i can suggest is numbering the carpark spaces for your room number. As the park near my room was taken not a major hassle did find a park in end.
