Boron Motel

Boron Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Not your average motorist hotel Don’t let the facade fool you. It looked run down due to the age of the property but it was well kept. Check-in was a breeze We were greeted by a really nice lady And she handed us the room key Upon opening the door, we were greeted by a really clean room. The space was perfect to get a good night’s sleep. Bed was nice and firm and the sheets were clean. I inspected them The bathroom was spacious and had the basics - shampoo/conditioner, bar soap - plus there was a small upright fridge/freezer plus a microwave. Cable TV was a bonus."
