Stayed here on a Sunday night so it was really quiet. The room has been redecorated recently and is painted in contemporary shades of grey. The bathroom is also modern.

Motel one not environmentally friendly.

Poor eco friendly at the motel one. Paper cups the get replaced daily, no option to plug wash basin in bathroom, just have to let the water run down the plug hole. Shower screen partial so shower mat gets soaking and needed to be replaced every day.bar only sell bottled beer, thus a glass bottle used every drink.
