It was a nice stay. Nothing spectacular about it. The front desk are young people who are on their cell phones at check in and check out. Not very informative or friendly. If you pick pay at property they still charge your card a few days before check in.

This place was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and able to answer any questions I had. The room was clean, had good amenities, and was modern. With the nights getting cooler it was nice to take a dip in the covered heated pool. Great little gem and I will stay again in the future.

It was the best stay I had during my trip. A nice, clean room with very comfy bed, with good coffee machine, fridge and microwave. Large bathroom with very decent shower and lovely shower gel, shampoo & conditioner. Meant to get basic house keeping (change of towels and emptying bins) but it was a full service each day! Gave me plenty of fresh towels, too. Had all the commual facility that I needed such as ice machine, laundry facility, coffee machine all working - the fact I could not take for granted during my trip. There was a heated swimming pool, too which I didn't use. Right by bus stops (to and from) and it was beyond convenient! It is also close to many restaurants and shops with just a short driving distance. Minor negatives were - weak faucet water pressure in sink only (shower was great), and you can hear all the noise from outside if someone was talking a little loud in the parking area. I wasn't too bothered by these to be fair. Really enjoyed the stay. Would definitely go back if I am back in the area.

There's a 24-hour Denny's across the street and a pornographic book store just beside the motel. So all of a person's needs are covered. No complementary breakfast, but those are often a disappointment. And if you don't like the vibe, there's a Super8 Motel on the other side. So far, so good!

Uncomfortable.
The beds were extremely uncomfortable and cheap feeling. The parking was also extremely unorganized. The staff however was very kind upon check-in.
