Convenient overnight stop.

A good motel for an overnight stop. A short drive off the highway. Room was comfortable although a little dated. Staff welcoming. Close to RSL and a few small eateries.

We checked in on an extremly hot afternoon. Althugh the front door was open behind a screen door, the airconditioner was not running on our arrival. It took about 40 minutes for the air conditioner to cool down the room after we turned it on.

The room was clean. The air-conditioner was great. The wi-fi was a great benefit but the bed was not good . My husband and I spent the night rolling into one another, which would have been fine had it been winter, but not good in summer .

Clean, modern, well appointed small room

While we had a modern, clean, well maintained and appointed room, it was not the size of a Deluxe Queen Room that we had booked and as appeared in the pictures: we had a small room only the width of the bed and bedside tables - no couch - and a small fold-up table with 2 chairs instead of a free standing table. No room for 2 suitcases - we left one in the car. Apart from that, it was a nice room with efficient airconditioning

Convenient, clean, no frills.

Clean and convenient. Absolutely no friendliness, at check in they couldn’t be rid of us fast enough and no access to speak or find anyone again. I was confused about people’s comments about breakfast when there was no food outside the minibar available at this premise. Very good eatery next door.
