Careful crossing the road

Room far too close to the busy road and road noise was excessive all night. Windows wouldn't lock properly so felt unsafe. Bed was very uncomfortable, possibly the most basic double bed mattress ever made. The only good thing was the room had tv however did not know what channels were available on foxtel as you had to scroll through the entire foxtel system and take a guess a to which channels were available otherwise channels were blocked. On arrival the owner/manager was very helpful and pleasant, however would not stay again. The motel is in a desperate need of a makeover.
