Undergoing refurbishments when I stayed, so it was a little difficult to ascertain the usual state of the room. Air con worked well. No phone in the unit, so to contact reception you either use your own mobile or walk across in person.

Quick Stay

The Motel was aged but OK for what we needed - a bed in the middle of the night and a hot shower next morning. Graham was more than accommodating, very helpful and friendly.
