A good stay, nice size room and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Plenty of parking and not too noisy for the proximity to the road. A shout out and recommendation for Kevin's corner Irish pub, a five minute walk away and excellent drinks and food (pub food). The owner Kevin was a delight. Breakfast back at the Circle lacked variety but was adequate.

This motel is a no fuss, clean property. The staff is super friendly and accommodations are comfortable. It is on a busy street but my room was on the backside and I didn't hear any of the noise. It is a motel like setting where rooms are open to the walkway and you can see people walking by through the only window. This didn't bother me for the noise level was low after 9pm. I will definitely stay there again while visiting the area.
