Rooms are older but very clean, spacious & had everything you need for a short stay.
Rooms are at the back of the property so no traffic, restaurant or sports bar noise, it was very quiet.
Would stay again.

Overall it would be ok IF my husband didn’t hurt himself when had the shower.
To get out from the bath( it is too high especially for the oldies !)was hard and he
Slipped…. Cut the elbow,foot and hit his head.

It was a very pleasant over night experience and we would certainly recommend it again. Even though it was not a modern motel it was very clean and we enjoyed our stay.

I understand it is an old motel. The room itself was quite large with lovely crisp clean sheets on the beds however the bathroom was nothing like any of the pictures on the web site and in fact appeared quite grubby. It was actually clean but because the fittings are all worn and possibly corroded they looked dirty. The shower recess is quite dark and the sealant around the tiles at the bottom of the wall looks as though it is impregnated with mould and should be replaced as soon as possible before it becomes a health issue.

The room smelt like stale cigarette smell. Needs airing. I couldn't get the air conditioner to heat, blew cold air. I set it right, but no heat.
