Clean room - young lady who checked us in was helpful and efficient. However the room we were in overlooked the highway-even though the windows were double glazed, the noise from the traffic was horrific! My advice would be to ask for a carpark side room. Don't bother with the breakfast either!

In the first room the air conditioning was broken, but the staff were amazing and quickly swapped me to another room. However in that room the bathroom light didn’t work. Despite the faulty rooms, their condition was clean and the staff were amazing. Would stay again.

No breakfast taken cannot comment. Room was clean, air conditioned and staff were great. Only criticism was the toilet/shower module did not contain a hand basin for use after going to toilet, also there is a large step to enter the module which, as elderly couple found it quite awkward. For one night it was ok for a budget motel.

Fleeting stop over.

Room was expected being an old Formule 1, very small with tiny bathroom, but it did the job for a few hours stopover on the way to Sydney. Location is very close off the M1, so it is very convenient. Getting a little older now, but clean and tidy.
