Avenue Motel

Avenue Motel

8/10 Good
"This property is definitely only budget accommodation and there is no room-refresh for multi-day stays. But this is becomming common, unfortunately. That said, it is great value and perfect for tradies (large car spaces and truck parking). The rooms are clean set out well enough for the business traveller (table, power points, TV, etc)."
