Although the building is a little old, it was very clean, beds were very comfortable, plenty of pillows, nice bedding, towels were very nice, spacious studio, spacious bathroom. I think we had the wheelchair accessible unit as there were rails in the bathroom, the door handle worked the opposite way (with signage). Only downside was no free internet when not booked directly through the motel. We checked out at lunchtime the day before our expected departure(our plans changed) but no refund for the night was allowed.

Happy to recommend this accommodation to all. Friendly staff. Nicely presented room that was clean and had the all necessities you could want. Air conditioning worked well, shower pressure was great with plenty of hot water. Parking right outside the door. Plenty of tea, coffee and optional extras with nice little welcome chocolates on the bed. Good location. Not too noisy.

Clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and couches, convenient parking outside your door and all on ground-level. Staff were very friendly and welcoming- even allowed us an early check-in with our little one. One-bedroom was very comfortable for our family, spa/tub was a nice treat and having TVs in both the bedroom and living area was a bonus. And very reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning!
