Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Air con good. Pet friendly with vinyl plank flooring
No one was in reception so I had to ring to find the key.. on entering the room the
Bed was unmade and
Room
Not cleaned like someone had just left. I tried to ring the number but no answer so I left. How do I get a refund through Expedia?
Was very convenient location. Very clean and of high standard for a pet friendly motel, Compared to other accommodation we have used. Would stay there again.
The room we stayed in was tidy and clean.
It had a fridge, microwave and kettle which is very convenient especially if you’re doing road trips.
They also offer some breakfast items at the reception before you need to go to room which again very convenient.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Very noisy obviously as its on the main road. Bathrooms need a serious overhaul.
Good bed and great little Thai takeaway next door in the other hotel. This hotel supplies breakfast (as long as you collect it yourself before 7pm or you don’t get milk or breakfast). It’s supposed to be pet friendly but it’s hard to get a pet friendly room when booking via an app.
At first look not confident I had chosen well but the room was clean, it was quiet and motel was family orientated. Families staying with their kids and pets which was reassuring. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Quick Stay
The Motel was aged but OK for what we needed - a bed in the middle of the night and a hot shower next morning. Graham was more than accommodating, very helpful and friendly.
The property is old, Requested a room on ground floor and GOT.
AC, fridge,Bed was great,comfy and clean. Only disappointment was the towels weren't renewed daily.which I thought were. Lucky there was a spare.
