Well it was the best one out of 6 hotels we stayed at during our trip. It’s definitely worth the price and was given an upgrade upon arrival. It’s really worth the money.

This motel is quiet, clean and well appointed (love the spa bath) and has the attention to detail that I enjoy in any motel. Things like the biscuit with the hot drinks, large size towels, (and plenty of them), free Sky movies all added that touch of enjoyment to our stay.

Relax on the Spacious Balcony

A very comfortable, roomy, clean stay with enough supplies to cook your own stovetop food. We loved relaxing on the balcony listening to birds in this quiet neighborhood an easy walk from downtown. Manager was very friendly.

I stayed overnight, friendly staff but there is no aircon in the bedroom and the queen/double size bed was put together with two single bed mattress and it’s very soft. My back was very discomfortable so I have to sleep on the floor after being awaken by the discomfort.
