Vale Hotel
The Vale was an affordable overnight stay. It is an older motel behind the main building. Could do with an update and bit of a reno. Check in after hours took a bit long

We booked in at 2:pm we went to our room. Shortly after, we could hear drilling noise until it stopped at 5pm. In the morning, at 7:21 am, a slight banging noise started. Very disappointed.
