Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The room was spacious and the bed comfy.
A small sofa in the living area was nice.
I don’t like fixed head showers, rather old fashioned.
Also would have liked more shelves/storage - the bedside tables were so small there wasn’t room for anything apart from the bedside lamp.
The motel has a garden area with seating but is on a busy main road.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Right on a main highway, so a little noisy; room was fairly sound proof
We stayed here for two nights in mid-December. The people running the Motel were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and the bed was comfy. The noise from the road next-door was not very loud, which was nice. Overall we had a lovely stay.
