Good motel at a very affordable price. The location was convenient, with Newcastle only a short drive away. Reception stayed open late, which made check‑in easy. The restaurant/club offered a good menu at reasonable prices, and there was plenty of parking. Overall, a comfortable and budget‑friendly stay.
