The staff were nice and the hotel clean and quiet. It was an older building but it had been maintained well - especially inside. My wife was happy and that is not easily achieved :)

Unplanned Short Notice Visit

We have stayed here a few times now and once again we were happy with the Motel and the support from staff. The little extra's like disposable tooth brushes and shaver in the bathroom were much appreciated and came in very handy.

The location is so good. There are many shops and restaurants near by. There is no AC in a room. It's so hot during a day in summer season.

Even though somewhat dated the rooms are spacious and very clean. Linen was clean, shower pressure and temperature were spot on. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. This oozes old fashioned service and charm.

You pay for what you get. A good price, and surprisingly comfortable unit. And reasonably quiet considering the roadworks happening over the 3 nights of our stay Very handy to supermarkets and takeaways, and close to town centre. Would recommend, especially for those on a biudget.

Comfortable for a couple of nights.

Internet dodgy and warns not secure, worked for short time on laptop, then didn't. Finally got it on phone, then it stopped on that as well. Room small but adequate for a couple of nights if you are out and about a lot. Easy walking distance to restaurants, shops and a convenient dairy across the street a bonus.
