This was ideal as a stopover.
Everything was clean and ready for us - thank you to our hosts.
As a studio unit, there is not a full kitchen (to wash dishes) but toaster, jug and fridge were ideal.
Mattress firm and very comfortable.
Outside private spa bath was lovely, it rained overnight andbit was awesome sitting in the tub under small shelter roof and watching rain fall.

We chose this motel because it had such a high rating. Maybe the other rooms are better but ours was dated and seriously run down. It so needs a make over. Staff were friendly and it was clean but no amount of cleanliness can make up for aged and worn chattels.

The property is located on the main road with heavy truck passing by and causing the ground shaking. Feels like an earthquakes. Apart from that our stay was acceptable.
