A great place to stay
An excellent stay at this motor lodge and all the amenities you could ask for. Modern and clean and great location and good black out curtains, double glazing and parking. If i was to be critical the beds are very cheap, I would struggle staying too long but fine for a night or too. I would also love soap, shampoo etc not the all in one liquid supplied. But thats being picky, it was a great stay and I would come back.

A gem along Highway 1 - very friendly desk agent, room was exceptionally clean, comfortable and cozy on a surprisingly cold night. Easy walk to grocery store, several restaurants and a gas station.

Loved the double glazing so traffic sound minimal. Lovely unit upstairs and walkway/stairs were lined with non skid matting that prevented sounds of footsteps that you usually hear on concrete surface. A lot of thought put in for the comfort of the client and having a restful sleep
