Could be brilliant, but isn't
This motel could be fabulous, but sadly it isn't. On the positive side, the rooms are well furnished, extremely clean and the beds are comfortable. The bar downstairs is convenient and the food pretty decent, if you like a basic menu. On a negative note, the room was exceptionally noisy, with load music from others guests, the bar below and intolerable traffic noise from SH1, which is 10m away. Additionally, the motel appears to be a haunt of contractors and tradesmen, who have food delivered to their rooms. This made our room and the whole corridor smell like a takeaway foyer, for hours.

The WiFi connection is bad. I can’t use it. Also, the other room people smoking and the smell went to my room.
