"We stayed here for an overnight stop. The motel was very clean, our room was big and comfortable with a great shower and balcony. Wests diggers is very close for dinner, although non member rates for meals were quite dear. The motel had a nice looking pool and parking was easy. Area quiet. Would recommend a stay here."
