Parking was secure and right beside the unit we were in. Other units the parking was directly in front of the ranch slider. With parking so close to the unit door it did not matter what the weather was doing when putting gear in the car.

The room itself was ok i guess but not set up very well, the tv was mounted in a pisition that makes it awkward to view from the main bed which doubles as the couch/searing i guess, no small milk like most motels offer at check in, also found it a bit strange to see there was cutlery and plates and cooking utensils etc however nothing to actually cook on , si if you require anyrhing beyond a jug and toaster then youl need to bring it with you or buy it while your there, ps theres coffee and tea but youl need to get your own milk and collect your key from another motel further down the road. I guess if a dry warm room is all you need for a night then its good value i suppose
