Ease of booking, friendly and professional staff at check-in, clean and tidy rooms, and easy check-out. Meals at the property are great! Only downside is traffic noise, but you expect that on a busy road, and I was hesitant to park under the large gum trees, but it was all good :)

Maybe we were just unlucky? The motel is next to the function room. There was a function on when we stayed and there is no soundproofing between function room and motel. If you want a good night's sleep, check first whether there's an event. Some of the staff really went out of their way to help. Others less so.
