We arrived early (12:00pm) on the off chance that our room might be ready. It was no big deal that it wasn’t but we didn’t need to hear over and over that checkin is 2pm. We had booked a premier room and couldn’t believe the traffic noise plus the street cleaner at 6:45am. I think the Premier rooms should be away from the street. I have stayed previously in different rooms and there was no issue with street noise. My side of the bed had a small table next to it. There was no lamp and no power points which is a bit unusual these days with all the tech people have. There was a heat pump which despite its name, is an air con unit so you should be able to use it on the cool setting but there was a sign saying it is set to heat and do not change it. The motels look lovely from the street and the interior is modern - it is just missing some things that could improve the stay significantly especially if it’s a hot day / night. Another thing to note, the spa bath was actually in the bedroom - not the bathroom.
