Our one night stay was in the Queen apartment which had a separate bedroom. The reception staff were very friendly. The beds are comfortable and linen good quality. The double glazing meant traffic noise wasn't an issue. I would definitely stay here again. My only negative is that there are no shower caps and the shower is above and strong, so you gotta get your hair wet.

Room was spotless and clean. Being on Motel Row, some nearby hotels are sketchy. The owners seemed like they ran a tight ship. Didn’t see any questionable clientele here. Good value. I had the larger room with kitchen and hot tub.

Unit contained everything I needed for a 2 night stay. Great water pressure. Friendly safe, clean, free parking, cameras for safety in carpark. Not emergency accommodation!! Some road noise so used ear plugs but that's because the motel is easy to find on a main road, close to shops/supermarket etc. I would stay here again.
