Clean and neat basic accommodation. No plug for the vanity basin. Bed was too soft for my liking but may well suit others perfectly.

This is an older motel that shows it's age. However, the room was clean and the king size bed was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the inclusions of free Wi-Fi and a large free on-site car park were wonderful bonuses so close to the city centre. We enjoyed our stay and very much appreciated staff contacting us and arranging pickup of clothing we accidentally left behind in the room.

The room just wasn't up to standard. It felt dirty and unsafe. The carpet was old and stained and it smelt like cigarettes. It was one of those rooms where I didn't want to walk on the carpet or bathroom/shower without my shoes on. Will.
