Extra blankets for the winter time, also an electric blanket would help. You need to update the airconditioner to a more modern and quiter one

Budget by name and budget by nature
The office is not manned you have to ring when you get there and you are told what room to be in and it is open.The first thing we noticed outside was a hand made polypipe ash tray overflowing with cigarette butts . It had been raining so they were all floating in the water. The front door also had butts on the ground beside it.We are non smokers so were jot impressed. There was no plug for the handbasin and the coffee cups were cardboard takeaway.Whilst the bed was comfy the room was small. The tv diid not work so we rang and someone did come and fix it. The floor tiles in the bathroom were a swirly colour so you could notvreally tellnifvthey were clean. The bathmat was frayed. Ifvyou are a single male tradie you might be happy here but we were glad it was only one night. Compared to the other 5 motels we stayed in on our trip the price was not budget at $120 per night. I booked it because it had a laundry and free wifi. It was a fair way out of town but no traffic noise apart from the truckie in the room next door.

The bed was comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was good. The room was very old. The floor was worn. The ceiling was patched up but unpainted.There wasn't even ceramic cups for a coffee. There were paper cups. Overall the property is very old. At the price we paid there was far superior properties just up the road.. There was no one in reception at 3 o'clock we had to check in by phone. Very unwelcoming.

I got what I paid for. Tidy, outdated, but it was cheap. No real complaints. Just don’t understand why Australia has to have such cheap and I’ll looked after accomodation and facilities.?

Very clean. Pet friendly as we were travelling home to Wa with two cats. One thing I didn’t like was the curtain was too short for the window. You could see in whichever way you pulled it.

The room had only 2pillows, that is 1each and when I asked for 2 more I was told it would take 3 minutes plus and had to come from the other side of the city. Water in the jug in the fridge was frozen solid.a bit hard to put in the kettle. The office was closed and so rang. He would not come out. This happened twice. Who ever laid the floating wood floor had no idea how to. Gaps all over it. Bed was hard

Good Priced Budget Motel
As the name suggests this is a budget motel. It is clean and is far enough away from the main highway to be quiet. The bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge / freezer with a kettle and had tea and coffee provided. I have stayed here several times by myself on business trips.

As expected, was budget accommodation. Not far from a large 'on the run' servo that is lit up like a Christmas tree. Please consider upgrading to blockout curtains or blinds.

What you can expect from a budget hotel. But our room had see through curtains so even when inside with just the tv at night you can see straight into the room. We also had people yelling and screaming outside our room all night.

Clean and Convenient
The room was clean and was located just near the OTR as you arrived Port Augusta. The room itself was dated but the bed was comfortable and had everything I needed for a 1 night stopover. The room was surprisingly quiet as well.
