Spacious and quiet but not perfect
Clean, spacious and quiet. Comfortable bed with a range of pillows to choose from. Aircon worked fine but made a screeching sound that prevented use whilst sleeping and morning shower was only luke warm - perhaps needs a few minutes to warm up.

Check-in process is easy (self serve / contactless) and the room is clean, spacious and most importantly, dog friendly. I was traveling with my dog and the room was spacious enough to put my dog bed. The bathroom had good hot shower and generally in good condition. I would definitely stay here again.

We tried to contact the hotel on the number provided just after 6.00 pm several times as we had not received the PIN code to collect the after hours key from the Key safe. Numerous calls made and not returned. It took several more calls once we arrived to sort the access out. Further the Country code was needed on my mobile to received the code. This was not made clear at all and my mobile is in my Hotel.com contacts. The lights outside are very bright resulting in the blinds not blocking out enough light.. result poor sleep.

The motel is clean and the staff are friendly. They were busy when we stayed and we had to wait two hours for our room. They should have messaged us to let us know that they were running late. Some cleaners did not turn up which caused the delay. Our room was cleaned in a rush. They forgot to leave bath towels and a sheet for the sleeper couch. There was only one towel between the four of us. No soap in the bathroom but there was shampoo and conditioner. It is a good motel, they just need to improve their communication. The staff were friendly and apologetic. It’s a nice quiet area and the room was comfortable.

One of the best motels I’ve stayed at, nice modern facilities, loved having the little garage for my car under the room, separate bedroom with own AC, ease of check-in was impressive. Only negative thing I could say is the kitchen utensils weren’t all properly clean when I arrived, but some were and were fine to use so still 9/10 overall.
