Old motel however the room was very clean and provided plenty of toiletries and a great shower with plenty of hot water and good pressure. Cleaning staff were very nice and helpful. It was in a good location and you could walk to shops and clubs if you wanted to.

Excellent… we will come here again

At check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to have been given an upgrade to a King-bed room with blockout shutters. The room was excellent, clean, spacious and had everything we could need. The bed was very comfortable and, with the benefit of the blockout shutters, the room had very little light overnight, ensuring we enjoyed an undisturbed good night’s sleep.
