Perfect overnight stay on a road trip. Large rooms, outdoor area for morning cuppa. The cups/plates etc were limited and nit enough for two people - we had to fet some of our camping stuff out to use. Not a big deal, staff were friendly.

It is an older motel bit it was very clean and tidy. We were travelling and just needed somewhere to rest. It was on the hyway and easy to find. Road noise was not a problem. Lovely garden area out the back door. For the price it was great and served our needs.
