10/10 Excellent

"The Manager was very obliging. I have allergy problems, he aired our pre booked room and ensured there was NO artificial sprays applied to the room. Parking was great. Presentation excellent. A note here: The boundary fence by the laundry is pretty dilapidated. The area surrounding the washing line is in need of love and attention, i.e. weeding etc., as does the back boundary. Other than that a very welcoming place. Not noisy even though the Motel is located on the main road. Thank you for a lovey stay."
