There was no-one manning reception just your name and room number on door which could cause security risk. Did not see any staff until we were leaving and cleaner was next door.
The room was clean the beds a bit hard and no electric blanket or microwave to warm a heat pack.
The complimentary biscuits were lovely and having the kettle we could use our hot water bottle as was cold this time of year (winter)

The check-in was friendly and efficient. The rooms were clean and the bathroom recently refurbished. There was tea, coffee and biscuits, which is always welcome after a long drive. The shower pressure and temperature was excellent.

Small improvements could be a softer bed and higher pillows. There was some noise from the highway, but overall this was a good motel at a very reasonable price, and we would stay again.

I chose this property for its price point, reception open late (I was arriving about 7.30), and free WiFi. Alas I arrived at 7 to a hand written list on the door of all guests (named) and a list of there room numbers telling them the keys were inside and the doors unlocked. As a solo traveller - not particularly safe way to do it. An email direct would have been better .

Also stated as free wifi on website but actually you need to get a card from third party provider at reception but as reception closed means no wifi. Yes I could have rung the emergency number but for small bandwidth allowance - wasn’t worth it.
