The location was great - centrally located to what we required.The room was clean & spacious. Windows were fixed, and not able to open to let fresh air in (thankfully air conditioner worked well, and overcame this). Breakfast at restaurant attached was adequate, and hotel luggage storage was easily accessible (even allowed us to have a shower with towel provided 5 hours after checkout). Staff was very pleasant & helpful when something was requested.

Issue with reservation, Motel was not interested in assisting, fobbed off onto booking site. Room was small, felt like a prison cell, no windows. Corridor floor was wet from watering plants, a slip hazard. Can not recommend this motel.

As a returning guest, I had a mixed experience this stay. The self-check-in process was defeated by the machine lacking paper, requiring manual assistance to get my room number. I also had to switch rooms due to noisy air-conditioning. However, the second room (436) was lovely—big, sound-proofed, and featured a great bathroom and crisp linens. The only functional issue was the safe, which had flat batteries. I have logged a maintenance request with reception for this.
