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.

Parking is good. Area has few dining options at least on weekday evenings. Road construction in front made walking about a bit awkward but that will likely disappear in a few days.
