Pros:

Exceptionally clean, well decorated and comfortable
Friendly helpful staff.
Well equipped communal kitchen if you wanted to use it.
BBQ in the garden area, along with a nice seating area.
Easy parking.
All done to a good standard.

Cons:

Noise from the road is bearable and quietened down in the evening.
Noise from neighbours didn’t, kids yelling, doors slamming, not much the motel can do about this, more people being more respectful of neighbours.
