    I was really impressed with this motel. It is very clean, huge room, big bathroom, comfy bed, kitchenette and modern (fresh white paint, clean new carpet). They let me have early checkin which was amazing. The service station next door has a lot of good food, healthy options too. Conveniently located near Soverign Hill. Highly recommend.

    We stayed there for one night only on the way from South Australia. It's located very close to the Western Highway, which was convenient in our case. Even though we were so close to it, the noise wasn't an issue. The motel is clean, everything in our room looked pretty new.. Good value for money.
