The service was excellent but the place was tired. Very clean but things such as the iron, and the cooking utensils need updating. Over all it was just sufficient.

Local Motel

A refreshing change from previous place I had been regularly using. Easy access, with good parking. Short walking distance from mall with good bars and restaurants. Unfortunately had a room with a dodgy heater (lucky it wasn't too cold). Manager was helpful
