Spacious and clean room. Hotel is right next to busy road but room was quiet. Several shopping centers nearby. The complimentary breakfast however seems to be for 10 year olds: coco puffs, milk, cup of fruit and a muesli bar.

The proximity of the hotel to the motel units was great. The unit was at the back of the property and therefore didn't get the noise of the main road. Plenty of parking. Would have liked more facilities e.g. toaster and/or microwave in unit as we weren't into breakfast cereal.
