“Sturt Motel's location makes it a practical base for exploring Broken Hill and its surroundings, particularly with the lure of a three-for-two night deal. While the pool offers a welcome respite from the outback heat, some rooms appear to need serious attention and a complete renovation. I suspect some travelers might find better value elsewhere, despite the motel's convenient proximity to local attractions.”
