My stay was adequate but found it to be quite noisy with thin walls so could hear guests in the bathroom above me. The receptionist was not overly friendly so first impression wasn’t a positive one. The motel room itself was comfortable but was surprised there was no milk offered for the first couple of hot drinks which is usual practice in accommodation.
