A lot of road noise but you are on a main road but having double glazing didn't help much.

The bathroom is a little dated, water pressure in the shower not great and there was no sink to wash dishes apart from the bathroom one (there was a bowl in the cupboard that you could use for this purpose), the bed was comfy, the location great and the staff fantastic! But for our stay it was all we needed and was a popular motel as there were no vacancies that night. I think what made our stay so good was the interaction with the staff and if we were doing a short term stay again we would certainly consider Alpine as an option.
