    Nice staff member. Called to sort as I booked late in the day. Free parking on site which was great. Comfy bed and blackout curtains were a bonus so I could sleep in a bit. The “kitchen” was essentially a storage cupboard but I was grateful for a sink and somewhere to keep my chilly bin stuff cold.

    This motel was more than suitable for us as we had come to watch soccer which was within walking distance of this motel and so were many eating places which meant we could leave the car at the motel which had great free parking. Owner was excellent to deal with.
