Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is not the place to rest or sleep. Blinds don’t close properly and there are bright white lights that shine through all night and keep the room lit. As well as being located on a very busy motorway. (That tourists wouldn’t know about) Trucks and traffic will wake you up several times a night. Plus you’ll hear every cough, sneeze or chatter from your neighbours. Staff were all lovely. But 0/10 stars for getting any rest or sleep. Easy to check I . And easy to park. But won’t stay again.

The room we had had been upgraded which was lovely. The room was clean and staff were friendly on check in. We have a Land Cruiser Troopy which did fit under the carport 👍. We did find the traffic noise was quite loud. It was a comfortable stay.
