Safe, clean and comfortable with excellent parking facilities for free. Room spacious and bed very comfortable. Complimentary breakfast ample and tasty. Fabulous Burger Shed right next door for evening meal. Very quiet despite being near highway. Only one criticism was wi-fi a bit hit and miss but could use computer in lobby so all good. Would definitely stay here again.
