Mitchell on Main Motel & Apartments

Mitchell on Main Motel & Apartments

8/10 Good
"Nice room with a bigger than usual bar fridge which was handy. Although being close to the highway, the room was quiet apart from some late night noisy guests returning to their rooms. The bed did not suit my back so I found it difficult to find a good sleeping position. Upgraded bathroom with nice big shower although the toilet was placed too close to the wall. Aircon worked well and the room was toasty warm in no time. Parking was nearby so convenient for unloading and loading."
