Nice and comfortable. The wifi didn't work and no-one ans2ered at reception. Other than that, it's exactly what it says on the can. Comfy motel. You can hear the neighbours. Nice and spacious. I'd go back.

An older facility, but I have never stayed in a motel, hotel or other accommodation, that has been as clean and neat. Also, just the smaller things make a difference, coffee, milk, biscuits and mints 😃 And of course all the additional items you would hope and expect to see, but don’t in some others.
