We had a great time during our stay for 1 night. Everything you need for a short stay without a massive price tag. The staff were lovely, willing to help & share their local knowledge to help us out during our stay. Rooms were clean, tidy & welcoming.

Parking was easy and the manager allowed car to be parked under cover because impending storm. The room was clean and although advertised as executive, the room was basic. The water pressure in the shower was excellent, although it took some time for the hot water to arrive. Noise was not an issue event though close to 2 fuel outlets.

Very clean and tidy. Had a little road noise, but that was easily dealt with using some white noise.
Will definitely stay there again.

A good place to stay overnight. The room was large and clean with a comfortable bed, pretty much all that was required. Parking available outside the door. The pub nearby was a good option for eating.

The parking is not allocated to rooms.
Just park where you can find a spot.
Hand basin had not been cleaned properly. No bench or towel rails in bathroom. Most expensive motel in our 3 weeks of travel.
The bedroom was the best, well appointed.

Nice stay
Great little room and exceptional communication from staff. Only downside is the how loud the traffic is overnight, but there's little the hotel can do about that.
