Shoe Box Accommodation for 1 person. No room for luggage easy access unless placed on bed. Cramped kitchen/bedroom option, yet very spacious toilet/bathroom. I would look elsewhere or ask for a bigger room.

It was OK. We picked it because it had the nicest pool, only to discover it could not be used which was frustrating.

I liked the convenience of the motel as it was just off the highway. The restaurant was there and walking distance to other food outlets. I would definitely stay there again.

Great for a quick stop over. Air conditioner is an old style which is a little noisy. Close to the highway.
