Fantastic.
Our host was charming and helpful, the room was spotless and bed very comfortable. Plenty of variety and supplies of coffee, tea, etc. Plenty of towels, face cloths and toiletries. Older motel but was very well maintained. Close to railway line but no trains between 10.30pm and 6.55am, so had a really good nights sleep. Would definitely stay again.

After a long stressful drive where I was constantly held up with roadworks and slow vehicles, I was very late and was going to miss the cut off time for the office. Upon arriving I was greeted by the most lovely lady on the front desk who reassured me it was no problem I was late. I then later checked my messages to see they had tried very hard to contact me ( I was driving so couldn’t check my phone) and had arranged for me to still access my room no matter the time. It honestly made my Day.
