Traveled with family
Great location, short walk to town centre. The bed was comfortable. I paid to stay at this motel wasn’t cheap. The price I paid the same for other motels are much better. I asked to change the bath towels and clear the rubbish bins, I was told that I had to pay. Hmm... The slidling door bottom rail was so dirty. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned for mamy months or years. Kitchen window I couldn't opened it as there were tons of ants. I rang the receptionist and letted the lady know. The kitchen drawers were old and needed some attentions. The kitchen doesn't have a cooking stove, only a microwave. Luckily, we brought our electric frypan to cook. Good experience.
