We really enjoyed staying at the Shannon Motor in. Was a convenient location to visit my niece. With the microwave and fridge Woolworth's is across the street made it easy for meals. We had a great reception at checkin.

Place is a little dated, but exceptionally clean! We had a very late check-in at 10pm but was grateful that owner could help us. Our one and only point of improvement was the aircon in the room - it was an old one so it was a tad noisy. Apart fr that - our 2nd room stay for a family of 5 was great.
