Room was a shoebox and some staff were very average
Pros:

Location and proximity to work. The gentleman on the desk when I checked in

Cons:

The young guy on the desk on Thursday evening had a really bad attitude considering I book there 3 out of 4 weeks every month.

No housekeeping was done on Thursday..

A good genuine suburban motel
Pros:

Nice older property well maintained. Rooms are compact but very functional and comfortable.
Especially like that the bed was made with a top sheet.

Cons:

Need a few extra outdoor chairs in the gardens. Disused fountain probably should be removed as could be a risk to children.
