Trivia
In 2009 Roadchef considered selling these services to address their financial concerns.
When the motel was opened in 1989 it was described as "a new era for travellers", aiming to provide a much higher quality than someone might expect from a motel.
In 1996, it was due to get a drive-thru Wimpy, but this never happened - perhaps the trial site at Harthill fell through?
Survey Results
In 2006, Holiday Which? gave the services a 3/5, they liked its tourist information.
