Hi David, sorry you didn't mention this to me during your 3 night stay as we spoke on several occasions. All beds are new as at December 2022. Your room had 6 pillows (3 new European-large and 3 standard size pillows but I could have supplied firmer or softer as required. The shower does not leak when taps are turned off. Cheers, Steve@Reservations

The staff were so lovely at any given time. A great place that’s quiet but very close to main strip in town. Definitely good value for money.

We stayed here for one night during a road trip and were happy with our stay. The staff were friendly, and the room was well-equipped and clean. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, and the motel is conveniently located within walking distance of several food options. We would definitely stay here again.
