Well located motel onTay Street. The motel is clean and comfortable. The bed was good. The kitchenette is well resourced for small meals. The bathroom was set up for people with disabilities, plenty of space with required handrails / shower seating etc. we enjoyed access to the laundry after travelling for some days. Netflix was a bonus. Car parking ample. Overall a neatly presented little apartment.
