Good enough for the price paid. Unfortunately the room next to ours very noisy all night until 4am. We did not rest well. Room quirky. Beds comfortable. Some interesting characters getting around in what look like long stay accomodation. Did the job for the 1 night needed.

Absolute disgrace. Motel is also being used as a halfway house for people with drug problems. Room was dirty and we didn’t have enough Glen20 to rid the smell in the room. Spa doesn’t work and the a/c is very average. Steer clear of this place.
