A good clean motel for an overnight stay. Happy to see a staff member on check in as the self check in screen wasn't working. A bit noisy being right on the highway, but comfy bed and hot shower were really all we were after for a 1 night stop over.

Totally over-priced for a late 1950's early 1960's motel. They have attempted to give it a lick of paint and some security cameras, but the place needs demolishing, it is past it's use-by date.

Bigger plates provided would be good. Having another chair would be good instead of sitting on bed as there was only one arm chair provided. Would be good if there was a small table in the room.

Room was clean and well presented. Didn't like the automatic check in, especially being asked to take a photo of the room code. (Assumes everyone has a suitable phone). Otherwise a comfortable stay.

This property is very dated, with no office nor any facilities.The outside of the buildings are very drab and somewhat depressing. However the room was clean & if all your looking for is a budget room with a clean bed this could be the place for you.

The room was clean but VERY SMALL and very basic without character. The fridge is defective and the shower needs washers - constant dripping. There is NO RECEPTION, only a screen in the wall. Therefore there is also no service.
