Over $700 a night for what was really a motel room and no cooking facilities was ridiculous. The on-site restaurant has closed down - only open for breakfast (which was fine). We were directed to the pub/servo for dinner - no other option. Worst meal we have ever had - glad we were only there for one night as we wouldn’t have gone there again.
