You're on a main road with passing traffic and sitting on an aircraft flight approach pattern. Noise is always going to be a slight issue at that address. And... Your room curtains in No. 30 need attention but otherwise, all good.

Missing the small details which you take for granted at all other motels. Staff were lovely but given the amount of other options in the area, I wouldn’t stay here again.
