Nice hotel, huge room with patio out onto the grass. Across the road from the shopping centre and near the hotel but still very quiet especially at night. Well equipped room with toaster, microwave and kettle and plenty of tea, coffee, sugar. Very clean motel and grounds. Nice friendly and helpful staff.

This was a nice motel in a good location with Shops just across the road. Rooms were a great size and had microwave and kettle, table and chairs. Nice pool area. Motel was quiet but unfortunately we were kept awake all night by a fire alarm that kept bipping. Staff were friendly and helpful. Kiosk checkin worked really well. Would recommend it
