The space was great,all we needed,and surprisingly quite being so close to a main road . Very central to the town and all amenities, however the room could do with some cosmetic fixing up .And dish liquid would also be helpful for washing up the dishes provided, especially on extended stays.

Friendly check in. Able to choose where to park. Clean and tidy room - looking out onto trees. Very close to city centre. You will hear neighbours plumbing and they will hear yours - so be aware of this. Good vibes.

Room was dark and in need of a full refurbishment. Stayed for 6 nights and on one occasion bed wasn’t made, rubbish not collected and only 1 towel replaced. Motel was hard to find because hedge is growing over the sign and signage on the building doesn’t show up very well. TV so small it was difficult to watch. Overall the place just looks very tired.
