Adequate

Price and location

A comfortable functional motel room.
Pros:

The location suited us really well. The car park had ample parking spaces and access was reasonably easy. The bed was really good and the staff were very friendly.

Cons:

Everything was fine. Room size was as expected for a budget motel but was still fine for a couple. Maybe a second stool would be good. They were stackable so a second one would be possible in the room

Little sleep with a decent breakfast.
Pros:

Breakfast was good.
Glad to have booked a room at last minute

Cons:

Bed wasn’t made. Only one pillow for 3 people. Very very noisy. No acoustic seal between window in room and road.

Worth the price. Clean, pleasant
Cons:

The window in room 211 was broken - the room was clean and pleasant for the price. If I didn’t have to listen to road noise all night it would’ve been perfect

Simple but enough for an overnight stay.
Pros:

A simple room with shower and toilet pod. More than comfortable for my overnight stay with fridge and tea/coffee facilities.

Cons:

No natural light window, instead a solid window door that opens just enough to let in air.
