8.6/10 Excellent! (177 reviews)
"The Alexander Motel served us pretty well for an overnight stay prior to a forgotten world tour. There wasn't much personality at check-in nor was the room as clean as it could have been but it was adequate. The walk to main street for a meal is easy. Would recommend the Monsoon Indian"

"Very clean unit and our dishes were washed after our first night. (We had had a very early start that day and didn’t expect it!) Just a comment the soaps in the shower are hard to work when you have your glasses off and didn’t see the “press here” message written on them!"
