Well priced, typical motel.

Great option close to where we wanted to be, for a 2 or 3 night stay. From our booking information we did expect our own outdoor sitting area but there were just 3 chairs and two tables at each end of the row of rooms, right by the car parking. Other than that and the bed being marginal for comfort it was a good stay.

A bit tired

The motel is clean and tidy but a bit tired. The rooms could do with a refurbishment . The mattress in my room was saggy and seemed very old.

Convenient position to attend a family gathering. Easy parking and spacious. Easy to book and reasonable rates for the room. Though a little dated, it was warm, comfortable and all you need for a short stay. Clean and good ventilation, everything you need. Friendly welcome and quiet setting. Great value and especially helpful if you have a car (there can be trouble finding car park if staying in city centre).
