This is an older motel that shows it's age. However, the room was clean and the king size bed was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the inclusions of free Wi-Fi and a large free on-site car park were wonderful bonuses so close to the city centre. We enjoyed our stay and very much appreciated staff contacting us and arranging pickup of clothing we accidentally left behind in the room.
