I had a nice quiet room out the back.

The room was a little musty smelling when I arrived, but that disappeared.

"Perfect for our needs."

8.0

Very comfortable bed and a good shower. Staff on check in very pleasant and willing to be of help if we needed. He checked on on us after we settled in to make sure we were happy. Car park right outside unit. Studio unit perfect for one night. Very friendly cat also visited, presume it was part of the management team!! Loved having the resident wee cat visit and stay in our unit for a couple of hours. Complex is located on the main highway , not noisy as it was a weekend, during the week this will be very busy with traffic/trucks but this cannot be helped.

Cleanliness, size of unit

Tidiness of outside area. Dirty ashtray on table, garden and yard showed lack of care, eg weeds, long grass, back of motel out bedroom window untidy, seemingly old outdoor furniture, a bit of rubbish and very long grass. Large pothole in driveway. Outdoors felt neglected and sad.
