Ordinary motel, be aware payment method

We didn’t know it’s e-check-in, which means no person at the reception. We have to pay by a credit card even I chose “pay on the site.” The room was okay but the parking space was narrow so I suggest no big car into the parking.

Parking was very tight especially for larger vehicles with a family. Very challenging to find staff when there was a breaker panel issue.

Property was fine, clean and comfortable enough with nice bathroom and shower although the toilet seat (room 2) needs securing properly.Sadly the bed had electric blankets under the 'not so' fitted sheets, which was odd given it is summer, which were most uncomfortable during the night as we could feel the wires and controls digging into us, such a shame. The area was quiet but we could hear people in the other rooms quite clearly, someone even snoring so no sound proofing in these rooms!! Pleasant location and safe parking.
