Great location close to lots of eating places. Coukd easiky walk to centre of city. Large unit with comfortable bed and good cooking vacilities. Would definitely use again.
Susan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The motel room was sizable. It was a little dated, but the facilities were very good. The studio in is suitable for a couple or smaller family, with its separate double bedroom, and full kitchen. It was economically priced and provided excellent value for money.

10/10 Excellent

A good, comfortable place to stay at reasonable cost
Simon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Overall my stay was brilliant. If I must quibble, water in shower, toilet and sinks was a bit weak. Again, loved the room and overall accommodation, made my visit all that more restful/enjoyable.

Great space
Luke, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good location and reasonably priced. Shower head was too low - at chest height for averaged height woman and was over a bath so difficult to climb into for older or non mobile people. The units upstairs were not easily accesible for older or less mobile people - would have liked option of ground floor. Cord for electric blanket on window side of double bed didn’t reach power point and one on other side of the bed was split - so no electric blanket to use. The host was nice - took time to show us around the room. The heater was very efficient. Nice touch to have the paper delivered each day.
