Check-in was fast and simple. The hotel is in a very accesible area. The room seemed cleans dm equipped with most things you’d need. My biggest complaint is that the walls were paper thin. You could hear everything from next door to those upstairs. It also had a bit of an off smell - like an older building type smell. In a way, you get what you pay for. Not sure if I’d stay again.

Nice motel with great staff

We were very impressed with our stay. The motel was very clean, the staff was wonderful and the beds were comfortable. Our only issue was the street noise, but it is unavoidable due to the location. 5 stars!!

Good all round motel

Staff friendly. Location good for walking into town. Certainly a little dated but clean. Walls are thin as expected but other than some loud neighbours it seemed quiet. Good value for money. Would recommend as a cheaper option in the area.

Good one night stay

Reasonable price, comfortable bed and walkable to downtown. It’s right by the road but we didn’t hear much traffic so we slept good. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Beds were great!

The beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Great shower pressure and toiletries. Frustrating that only three towels were provided for four guests and due to late check-in, wasn’t able to resolve. Paper thin walls and extremely loud neighbors that came into their room late (around 2am) and proceeded to blast the tv through the night. Fridge makes loud noises all night. Not an ideal place to stay if you’re a light sleeper.
