No servicing of room during our 2 night stay. Had to go to reception on both nights to request coffee sachets. Room was clean and modern and reasonably spacious. Small kitchens was handy but did notice base of microwave was rusted - a bit of a concern

The motel was close to where i needed to be. Shower curtain had mould all on the bottom and in showered. The door to the room did not look very secure. Also i was charged double what other family members were who had a larger group. Very loud in the morning with people- kids running upstairs
