Good, comfortable mote

Good, comfortable motel. As a light sleeper, some traffic noise experienced from the front room. However, after 10.00pm or so it was okay as there was only the occasional truck / car. (Best to request rooms at back of the property).

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

The room was comfortable but had a faint smoke smell - which was stronger in the bathroom. No fault of the owners - but the people on the other side of the wall were incredibly noisy - all night! 1.45am, 4am, 5am.... very little sleep was had. Not sure I’d stay here again.
