We booked an economy room which was all that was available at the time but was quite spacious. The bathroom was tight but adequate and very clean. Sadly the restaurant was closed but there is a very good take away food shop within walking distance of the motel. Plenty of free onsite parking. Very helpful and friendly gentleman on the desk when checking in. We would happily stay here again.
