Unit was much bigger than we needed. The kitchen had all the facilities needed. The TV was a bonus with loads of sky channels. Very comfortable king size bed. The only downside was the noise from the trucks thundering by.

Well located, older style motel. The main bedroom area is large with new carpet installed. Bathroom and kitchen areas are due for a refurbishment. However everything you need for a one night stop over is available. There’s onsite parking but some spaces are tricky to get into - so be patient and it’ll be fine. Easy access to fast food, supermarket and Caroline Bay.
