Hotel was okay, yet had a confusing layout. Hotel was in average condition, seemed like it needed a makeover/renovations. It was clean enough.

Clean and safe how is it that a motel can offer fresh milk and 4/5 star Hotels can only offer UHT ?

Thanks for the comments Generally motels have less rooms than hotels so less wastage. We need to look at environment and don't want to be tipping milk down the drain and disposing of bottles. Hope this helps

Property was in a great position. We could get to our meetings easily. Parking was easy although we could have done with more.
