Great location for a quick stop on way to Adelaide.
Staff at checkin were very friendly and welcoming.
Motel was old but clean and tidy.
I just needed a bed, so it ticked the boxes for me.
Servo and fast food restaurants next door.
Only negatives were; extra cleaning needed to remove cobwebs and it was very noisy. Windows/doors did not block the road noise at all.
Overall pleasant stay and just what I needed.

The room was comfy and very clean. We did have issues getting into the room as the reception was closed. (3pm Sunday afternoon) The number given to phone was not accepting a uk number. So luckily the delightful man across the road in the Horsham Motel let us use his phone. Life saver and so very caring.
Would stay again but need to get a plan when arriving. I did not get the message to phone ahead to get in until well into the early hours.

Not a big complex which is probably a good thing. Room was huge. Plenty of places to put things. Could move around easily. Bathroom huge as well. Room has everything you need, clean, bed comfy. Traffic noise didn’t bother us even though on a main road, Plenty of junk food stores close by or pub and the HSSC nearby for real food. Found the sloping floor extremely intriguing, 😂

Before we had arrived, I received a simple message that let me know the easy way to obtain the room key, all without complaint, which showed understanding of how things can just get busy on a trip. Made check in and checkout seemless (perfect.) And, the other thing my wife and I would like to highlight is that the bathroom had a non slip style tile floor throughout which we feel is perfect if you have small kids like we do. We highly recommend Plowmans.

The hotel is located directly on the main road. So very noisy heavy traffic. Sounds of large trucks passing through the night.

Hotel room is very uneven as seen when you walk in the door you walking downhill. To test this are used my water bottle which rolled on every flat surface.
The bed has very uneven use the side closest to the door was obviously used more often and has an incredibly deep dip in it. The other side use less often not so dippy.
Basic hotel next to MacDonald. Across the road from Hunger Jacks and KFC. So the smell of deep fried food abounds.

Silo Trail followers

Location was good within walking distance to restaurants, shops and pubs, etc..
We booked 3 nights from Easter Thursday to Sunday, and traffic noise was only evident on one night.
Julian was very friendly on arrival and offered to call the Stick Shed to see if they were open. No daily house-keeping on public holidays but replacement towels were provided on request and bins emptied.
There is a service station next door which is also a mini-mart and a good selection of foods.
We did the Silo Trail and found it convenient to stay in one place and travel each day to and fro.
Overall the motel was what you would expect of a normal country motel - good value for money.
