Negative Reviews
negative:
Traffic noise is a problem
Given the motel's location adjacent to the highway, reports of traffic noise are not that surprising. A fair number of guests have found the noise from the traffic reaches excessive levels. Some rooms are worse affected than others.
negative:
Wi-Fi can be a little slow
A minor point but previous guests have noted that the Wi-Fi tends to be a little slow at times. This seems to be a particular issue over the school holidays when lots of children are attempting to get online with their various devices.
negative:
Guests would benefit from a car
Although guests have rated the location of this motel highly, the setting does appear to be more suitable for people who have their own transport. Without a car, the location becomes slightly less appealing.
