I'll start with the good. Staff very friendly. Check in very easy. Got upgraded to a 2bdr room at check in. Bed is comfortable. Fresh milk provided and room serviced each day. The cons. Noise from road traffic. Lights outside window don't turn off until after 10pm. Room very old and dated. Bathroom walls/tiling very unclean. There was mould in grout and boogers/grot/etc on the tiles in the shower and around the bathroom sink. And finally, I booked through Trivago and used 'pool' as a filter. Images on the site showed a pool. When we arrived there was a dirt patch where a pool used to be. Kids were devestated! If we had known, we would have gone elsewhere. Overall, it's ok for a quick overnight stay if travelling through.

Very happy with our accomodation. When we arrived, the staff upgraded us from a family room to a 2 bedroom motel room which was fantastic. The decor is dated but it was clean, comfortable, quiet and had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. I would recommend this motel for a short stay away and it is central to everything.

For a light sleeper, some of the rooms would not be suitable. There is road noise but it diminishes quickly during the early evening. Bed is firm and comfortable, water is hot, fridge works, room is spacious and the onwer is great.

On a very busy major road,difficult to turn in and out of,parking bays oddly marked out,if you have a 4x4 it could be a challenge,front windows on unit 12a do not have locks or latches on them and could easily be accessed from outside.bathroom looking very tired and dated,shower screen needed a good scrubbing or replacement.
