Disliked: Amenities
Functional, convenient, decent restaurant, very tired decor, soulless, rundown furniture and a bit depressing. Fine for an overnight en route to somewhere else but not a destination in its own right.

A handy base for the railway excursion.

A fairly typical motel room. Bedlinen was clean and the bed comfortable. We ate at the restaurant and the food was delicious.
