Parking was secure. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Even though it is in a bit of dodgy area, we as 4 females travelling, all felt safe. The staff are also extremely approachable. The room was clean, and pretty quiet, with great blackout curtains, and comfortable beds. Would happily recommend this motel.
