Very neat and tidy bathroom was great water pressure was fantastic

A good motel :)

Most of the motel has alot of great character. Lovely and friendly staff. The price you pay is low but value for money is good especially with air con.

Convenient place to stay in Port Augusta

Staff off handed. Trains passing at all hours of the night, beds need upgrading.

Positives: Good wifi, large room, price. Slept well in the bed. Negatives: The "kitchen" lacked a fridge (freezer only for some reason), no cutlery (bring your own). Does have a microwave and toaster though. Unstaffed at published check-in time, so had to phone and wait ten minutes, apparently 2pm is no longer correct. Bathrooms are huge rooms but then have about the smallest actual shower cubicle I've encountered. With a strange lump under a rug, I finally got curious enough to lift it up to find a bit of rubbish was literally "swept under the rug" at some point. Interesting: It was a lovely old pub, I'd once considered buying something similar to turn into accommodation so was keen to check it out. Strangely, it felt half renovated, with classy furniture in places but then like they'd run out of funds and have things like bedside lamps on a nice table but without any power to actually enable them to work. I'd imagine that the more standard motel rooms downstairs are what earn the more positive reviews as the upstairs guest rooms have so much potential. I wanted to like it, but should have just paid a bit more to stay somewhere far better.

first room we got was unserviced and staff member didn't believe me so had to look for themselves. next room was better but so noisy with traffic and trains and one of the beds kept on moving throughout the night everytime they moved

Comfortable for what we needed for the night
