I am trying to be positive about this motel, but it's difficult. Yes, it's old and not much to look at, but I tried to move past that. The room was clean and a good size, although could do with some remodeling at some stage. I think the biggest problem was the noise. It's close to SH1 so there's a constant traffic noise, but a lot of noise coming from other guests at the motel - although it feels like some people are living there.
It was okay for 1 night, but I wouldn't go back again. Hey, the wifi was good.
