Convenient and Clean

For a business stay my room was great. It had plenty of space for me to work during the day at the table, and have a colleague in the room to have a meeting. And it was spotless, had a very clean feel to it and the room was very bright. Definitely stay here again.

It’s quite noisy being on state highway 1 and the railway is directly behind it. It suited our needs and was clean and tidy. Couldn’t find a decent restaurant for an evening meal. Levin is very basic.

Was that Thomas the Tank engine?

Great friendly staff. Room was excellent but the railway tracks were just outside our bedroom window. Approx 5 x freight trains during the night felt like they were in the room with me. We stayed 2 x nights and the trains did not seem too bad on the second night. Other than that, the rest of the motel is excellent! I would still stay here again.
