A decent motel to stop for a couple of nights. Everything you'd expect from this type of accommodation. Loved the use of BBQ and pool area was nice. Free parking on site was great. Had an issue with some stains on the duvet/towels, however one of the cleaners was super proactive and changed everything straight away!
