The room we had had been upgraded which was lovely. The room was clean and staff were friendly on check in. We have a Land Cruiser Troopy which did fit under the carport 👍. We did find the traffic noise was quite loud. It was a comfortable stay.

Spotlessly clean, nicely appointed little motel rooms. They have an old school in-room breakfast in the morning, remember the ones where you fill in the paper form that you leave with reception. Nice touch!

Very friendly reception - spotlessly clean room - comfortable bed and pillows - nice fluffy towels - although the room was small, it was perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The breakfast was large and reasonable value. Would I stay here again, yes, definitely.
