The lady at reception is really lovely and helpful. It was great to have somewhere to stay that welcomed our dog as well.
It would be better if the smoke alarms weren’t directly over the bed as I found the light from it shone in my face all night.

The towels were nice and fluffy. The room was spacious with a fridge. There was a little bit of highway noise but it wasn't noticeable when I was sleeping.

Convenient when driving long distance.
Very basic, although convenient as beside highway and pets allowed. Nevertheless I feel it is overpriced, they also charge an additional $10 per pet.

Prima hotel naast snelweg (Billabong)
Wij verbleven hier, omdat we de dag erna naar Billabong Sanctuary gingen en dit was er super dichtbij (2,5km). De eigenaresse (denk ik) checkte ons in, super vriendelijk! De kamer had 3 losse bedden dus dit was voor ons ideaal met 3 personen. De handdoeken ruikten heerlijk naar wasmiddel en er waren genoeg faciliteiten op de kamer. Alles niet het meest nieuw meer, maar wel netjes en prima voor nachtje tijdens reizen.

Just out side of Town
The motel was only a short drive into town and the owner was lovely. She helped us with directions and parking for the football game which helped very much. The room was on the smaller side but was everything we needed with 2A & 2C for a 1 night stay. This motel is on the highway but once the room was closed and air-cond on you couldn't even hear the traffic. We had a wonderful stay and would go there again.
