“Comfortable”
The motel is in a location that is great for us & the room was comfortable with parking out the front. There is a nice hotel for meals etc. right next door (without being noisy) & Interlude a few hundred metres away is great for coffee. The only downside was the old air conditioner which was quite loud.
