A budget motel
We book this motel because the preferred accommodation wasn't available for both nights at Mount Gambier. This one is a budget motel on the main road - good enough for road trip stop-over - you want to spend as little time in the room as possible

Mediocre at best.
Greeting at reception was very nice and the room was initially very clean. I had two issues with my stay; 1. the room wasn't cleaned by housekeeping the next morning with the bed not made, nor was the bathroom surfaces (vanity and basin) wiped. I simply had new towels added. 2. The loud screaming noise (like a smoke detector) that the plumbing made when the neighbor had a shower late at night. It was so loud I went to reception worried about an alarm going off :) and they came to investigate it and heard it also.
