A great location by the river, very close to the city centre. Good facilities, clean condition. Our room a bit noisy though, with a road on 2 sides

We loved all the space the unit gave us. The bedroom was seperate from the living room which we liked. The couch was on the hard side and not very relaxing to sit on. Nevertheless, the motel was priced well, the bed was comfortable and everything was extemely clean. We would consider returning to it in the future.

The general vibe of the place was good. Off the road a bit and the river was just across from us. Nice and quiet. The water pressure was a bit low - maybe a different shower head would fix that. And the TV was a bit small by modern standards - but otherwise was a very nice stay. :O)

Much quieter than expected. Friendly, simple arrival and key processes. Facilities clean and appropriate for price. A small comment: The fridge was not turned on for our frozen and refrigerated items which we were unaware of until later in the evening.

Clean & comfortable.
A clean & comfortable room. The kitchenette was fully equipped with cookware, a full oven & stove top as well as a microwave. The bed was a bit soft for our liking. We think the weather may have been hotter than the locals may be used to - there wasn’t an air conditioner or fan to relieve the evening heat buildup. The manager was very helpful & friendly.
