Route 66 Motor Inn
Emerald|À 0.78km de la Botanic Gardens Maze
I recently stayed at Route 66 Motor Inn for a business trip. On arrival, the complex itself is fairly basic and needs a bit of attention. It has an on-site restaurant, a small pool, laundry facilities and a horseshoe arrangement of 30-40+ rooms. Each room has a designated carpark outside of it with a single chair by the door. It feels very much like a workers camp. I stayed in a queen bedroom studio apartment. Opening the door, there was a musty smell however this dissipated quickly once inside. You walk straight into the ”kitchen area” which comprises of a sink, 2 sets of cutlery, plates, wine glasses, glasses, cleaning equipment, toaster, kettle and 3/4 sized fridge. You do get complimentary tea and coffee, biscuits and water. This little area is tiled but the rest of the room is carpeted. It is sorta clean but not spotless. The carpets are worn, the bedspread is aging and the furniture has seen better days. They have squashed a lot of furniture into a little place. Imagine a dining table for 2 people, a desk and 2 dining chars, build in wardrobe, 2 tub chairs and the queen sized bed that is most likely a double bed, 2 bedside tables into a small 3 x 3 room - It has everything you need for a basic stay but is very tight. No way you could fit 2 people in there. In my room I had a sliding glass door at the end of the room and a window to open. All windows/doors had security screens which makes you feel ”safer” in the area you are in. There is a patio but there is a big sign on the sliding door telling you to be careful because people lock themselves on their patios. Looking out at the patio - it wouldn't be a pleasant experience. It has 1 chair and not much space and is basically a place to smoke even though the compendium tells you not to smoke anywhere you can drag cigarette smoke into the unit. Outside on the patio there are some basic screens to stop the neighbour entering your unit but you can see right through them. It would be a PIA to be locked out there and climb over them though. The view is a concrete wall... I'm also thinking an inexperienced male might have done the interior decorating because they thought throw pillows would give the room a ”classy appeal” so if you like little pillows - this room is for you! The bed...well the bed has seen better days. I haven't felt springs in my back like that for a few years but you can find a spot (if you are alone) to be comfortable. Pillows were nice and fluffy though! The camp site workers have spoken as there is quite a big plasma tv on the wall with austar basic channels. The microwave is a bit strange so I just pressed a few buttons and hoped for the best and my meals were cooked. It does some weird steaming function I'm not sure about. Wifi was fairly good. The bathroom was modern and thank goodness - it had no shower curtain!!!! That is a huge plus in my book. The water/shower was hot with a shower head fixed straight above your head from the ceiling, it wasn't fun keeping your hair dr
