Victoriana Motor Inn
The room was a little tired but spacious. Microwave and toaster were provided but there were no dishes or cutlery making it difficult to eat in. We decided to buy our own from the IGA close by - a convenient short walk. Otherwise, reasonable for the price. Easily accessible. Convenient parking.
