“In my opinion, this motel strikes a satisfying balance between value and location, placing guests within easy walking distance of both Shoal and Nelson Bay. The recent, thoughtful updates to the rooms create a comfortable and clean environment, and little touches such as readily available phone chargers, in my opinion, reflect the helpfulness of the management.”
