Lovely receptionist is friendly and welcoming. Room is spacious and though ‘older’ it’s been upgraded, is in excellent repair, and very well kept. Clean, tidy, fresh, cozy with great reverse cycle air conditioning. Curtains lovely & effective in darkening the room. Nicely decorated too. Very good amenities, microwave & bar fridge with freezer. Only a few stairs to access verandah to my room. All round FANTASTIC stay. Thank you

Jewel of a motel

We stay at the Downs often as it is very convenient to the CBD, has plenty of parking inside & out, very obliging owner. It is great value & is one of the cleanest motels we have stayed in for its age. Comfy bed, excellent shower & the list goes on.
