First impressions if the motel are good and of the room are it looks okay. However, on using the shower the shower basin was slow to empty, on using the bed it was a shocker, sheer junk, needs replacing. The bedside lamps didn't work either.
Breakfast was good and reflective of a good continental breakfast.

Rat droppings scattered along the walkway to the room.
Locked out of the room twice - once outside office hours - because of the “weather”…
Continental breakfast included in room fee. No food in the bains (empty/clean) and no staff to speak to get breakfast. Ended up spending another $40 eating breakfast out.
