Clean, Comfortable and Quiet.
The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Perfect for a quick stop in before a long day at work the next day. The staff are friendly and super helpful. I won’t hesitate to stay here again next time I’m in Blackwater.

Information needs to be updated across all websites to reflect current services. Restaurant is permanently closed and there is no buffet breakfast available but they are still listed as features. This is very misleading as is a deciding factor when comparing motels. Reception hours also differ from those advertised. Staff were very friendly. Quite noisey with workers drinking and gathering outside rooms.
