Very basic accommodation. It was clean (though there was some litter outside). The interior of our room was tired with a need for updating. It also had a wet room shower and the curtain did little to keep the bathroom from getting wet.

Well priced, typical motel.

Great option close to where we wanted to be, for a 2 or 3 night stay. From our booking information we did expect our own outdoor sitting area but there were just 3 chairs and two tables at each end of the row of rooms, right by the car parking. Other than that and the bed being marginal for comfort it was a good stay.

A bit tired

The motel is clean and tidy but a bit tired. The rooms could do with a refurbishment . The mattress in my room was saggy and seemed very old.
