it's a roadside motel. so expect a roadside model. the picture obviously was taken in its glory days, but I guess whilst the motel cannot control the grey sky above it can control the sign which is in need of a fresh coat of paint. the area is super convenient for travel, and there is a fabulous bakery across the road (drive thru too) and a wonderful burger restaurant, plus on site there is a good restaurant / bar, the staff were super friendly and you can park right outside your room which gives comfort knowing all your possessions are right outside and you could hear if anyone came near your car, the entrance to the motel isn't gated though but I wasn't concerned as the area was nice enough and far enough out the way that I doubt any wrong doers would be popping by. As for the room perhaps I got short changed, on the plus side the bed itself was crispy clean sheets and comfortable, it had a large window you could open for fresh air and a fantastic air conditioning unit which kept the room super cold which I loved, plus a TV too, the shower was actually a good make so you got a good fairly powerful hot shower (better than some hotels), but the floor was uneven and it meant even the quickest of showers lead to a flood in the shower room, that was really my only gripe, other than that I feel it was slightly over priced for what it was but I cannot fault it for what purpose it served, a place to rest our heads on route elsewhere. so, would I stay again, probably.
