Great location and friendly stuff”

We stayed there for 1 night during our trip on the east coast. The place offers great value for money, room was clean. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely would stay there again. The only thing I could complain about was wifi signal in the most remote rooms, but it was not a big problem for us

Have stayed here a number of times and the reception staff are very friendly. The room was clean and tidy for an older hotel with the normal wear and tear on a room that old but it was only somewhere to sleep and shower as my family were staying in the caravan across the road. Only issue I found was no elevator to the top floor rooms or the restaurant that is attached to the motel but not owned by the motel. Other then that reasonable price for a long weekend
