The motel is ageing, but is kept clean and tidy. The staff are helpful during the office hours they are available. And they respond to comms outside of hours. Location is excellent. I would recommend this motel. Improvements: Having a microwave in the room would make the stay easier.

The reception is only open for a few hours in the afternoon but it was still very easy to check in, even when I arrived late. Staff were very friendly. My room was exactly as I was expecting, and was comfortable and spacious. Very easy to walk to the main area of Bright and plenty of parking available too. Would definitely stay here again.
