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.

Quiet considering it is on a main road. Plenty of parking, if only in the car park at the entrance of the motel. Staff are great. All up very happy.
