room was immaculate. Everything looked almost new staff were very friendly and helpful when this motel was built It looks like no money was spared in making the fixtures, and the overall set up a replacement place to be. Definitely not your average motel. It may be a little further out from the town centre then some but well worth walking an extra few steps.
