Easy Access. Lovely clean rooms. Everything you need for your overnight Stay. The beds were so comfortable and my Doona was like a fluffy cloud When checked in the staff were so friendly. Was a little bit concerned that the highway noise was going to be loud but we couldn’t hear a thing. Service station next door for easy access to all your needs Highly recommended.
