The motel rooms here are surprisingly plush, with feature walls, pretty bedside lamps and nice linen. Budget rooms (that is, the ones that share a bathroom) are a rung down in the decor stakes but represent good value. There's a tidy kitchen with cooking facilities next to the games room, and a guest laundry.
