Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms ok and comfortable. No carpet in rooms so could be a bit cold in winter.

Good budget hotel. It is a hot spot for interstate people to come and stay. It is best to have a car as the bus stop is about a 10-minute walk. It is also good to get you to the city for food as the best option you have is the servo beside the hotel.
Otherwise, the stay was present. The front desk lady was extremely friendly and helpful. The amenities were basic but sufficient for what you will be paying.
