“While the Great Western Motel aims for a fresh feel with its cabins, light sleepers might find the nearby truck traffic disruptive, especially in those units located behind the pub. I noted some minor maintenance needs that could use prompt attention to keep the cabins in top condition. I feel that addressing these issues would greatly enhance the experience of supporting this local business.”
