Overall, this property was good. Its definitely far-ish out of the middle of the city so you'll want to have options for driving. It was clean and staff was polite.

Immense gratitude to the staff / owners of this lovely motor lodge. Their kindness and compassion at an extremely stressful and heartbreaking time whilst having to visit my father in the hospital was very much appreciated. The room / facilities fulfilled all my needs and expectations. There is also a beautiful rose garden directly over the road from them, with seats to relax on and lawns to stretch out on whilst enjoying the fresh air in peaceful surroundings [despite not being far from the main road] I would not hesitate to stay there again, or recommend this to anyone needing to visit family / friends in the hospital. Thank you to all who made my stay so much easier, keep up the good work as I do appreciate how hard times are now for you all.
