Comfortable room
Comfortable large room with electric frypan so more ways to cook than just the microwave.
Motel is on a busy road and windows are not double glazed so lots of traffic noise through out the night. Trucks etc.

The staff were exceptionally good. We really felt at home, and knew that whatever we needed would be sorted.
We loved the spa bath, and the ability to have breakfast and dinner in our rooms.
Some of the window clasps need fixing, and some ventilation in the bathrooms would be helpful. Otherwise it was warm and cosy!!

Was convenient for getting in an out of town. Was quiet and tidy. Very helpful lady on reception gave a good recommendation for cafe within 5 minutes walk from the motel.
However wasn't impressed with the black mould around the silicone sealants and grout in the shower over the bath. Also no safety hand grip rails for older people to climb into the bath in order to shower.
