Liked: Cleanliness
The check in girl was our only contact with staff and she was very smiley, welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom. We have dropped a star as our booking, through Expedia, showed a stove top to be available, but unfortunately, only a microwave was in the studio! I had bought fresh produce, in order to cook a meal, and had to be very innovative to create our evening meal, in the microwave!! Not sure where the fault lies, Expedia, or the Motor Inn? As we only had one night, we did not take it up with the property. Good location, allocated parking space, and perfect for a short stay.

The room was adequate for our one night stay but would have been better if there were two single beds in one of the bedrooms. Staff were friendly.

We stayed for one night, with my Mother and my two kids aged 2 and 5. The owners have acquired the business over the last month or so and are making genuine efforts to upgrade the facilities and do best by their customers. Super friendly staff. Spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fit out is basic but they are upgrading it currently and I imagine that the next time we stay, it will be even better. Thanks for an enjoyable little getaway. We will see you next time!
