Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The amenities and spacious rooms for a budget motel were great. Beds were comfortable, kitchen (with microwave) was roomy, 2 TVs included in our 2 room apartment, with guest laundry facilities and ample bench space for luggage, carry bags etc. Traffic noise was not not intrusive and dissipated at night. For a basic, clean accommodation I would be happy to stay again.

Very clean older property. Great value

Very clean and the proprietors were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The property is older and it shows, but good value for the money. We appreciated the reasonably priced laundry facilities on property and the down pillows on the bed!
