Outstanding, modest little gem: great value for money; comfortable; very clean and recently updated; our room was quiet and secure; air con worked well; well-appointed for a one or 2 night stay with bar fridge, crockery / cutlery / glassware / bottled water / little treats / tea, coffee and milk / toaster / microwave; very friendly staff on check-in; great wi-fi; free on-site parking. Honestly, leaves other motels to shame - THIS is how it's done ! Would highly recommend. Thank you
