Road noise can be a concern

negative:
Wi-Fi at a poor standard
According to the general assessment of previous guests, the quality of the free Wi-Fi was regarded as one of the weakest features of the motel. The range of the wireless Internet in particular has been criticised as below an acceptable standard.
negative:
No breakfast served
Based on recent feedback, the accommodation does not currently serve a breakfast menu - something that was disappointing for a notable amount of past visitors. This negative was further compounded by an apparent lack of dining choices within walking distance of the property.
