It was basic but clean and comfortable. A bit of road noise was annoying as was other guests some of whom were quite loud outside at night but overall was fine

Good value room and breakfast
Would have rated it 5-stars were it not for a bit of noise from passing heavy vehicles - not enough to disturb unless a light sleeper. Simple but comfortable motel, with bonus of buffet continental breakfast at very reasonable cost. Bit out of town so need own tranport. Would definitely stay again.
