Very nice clean room had everything we needed and very comfortable. Bathroom floor was very slippery/dangerous after being covered in condensation after using the shower as fan is not strong enough.

Clean and comfy
Nothing special in terms of grounds or outdoor facilities but great for a quick stopover. Parking outside the door and a very clean room with all the amenities and excellent sleep quality. Was taken aback by the need for a damage deposit but the refund came quickly, though i lost a few bucks in the transactions. Might be a bit boring for a long stay but fine for a stopover.

Home away from home
Wonderful unit, clean and inviting. Spacious even with 2 beds, dining suite and kitchen. Bathroom large with a jet tub and a stand alone shower. Have mentioned that the bathroom area is quite slippery even with fan on. Tile chosen too glossy for a wet area. Grab rails by tub would be great.Carpet is possibly due for a deep clean. I will return to this motel as it has everything I need. Even though it is on a busy street it's very quiet. Staff extremely helpful, friendly and polite.
